When you can enroll

If your benefits effective date is November 1 or December 1, you must enroll for current year benefits AND the next year’s benefits, including electing FSA and HSA contribution amounts, if applicable. FSA and HSA contributions do not carry over from year to year.

See the 401(k) Retirement Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan for details on enrolling in those plans.
Payroll deductions: If you elect benefits that require an employee contribution (e.g., medical coverage), your payroll deductions begin the first pay date following your benefits effective date. Any missed payroll deductions or adjustments will be automatically calculated by bswift.
Other eligibility timing that applies is:
- If you’re rehired:
- Within 365 days, you’re eligible as of your rehire date.
- After 365 days, you have the same eligibility as a new employee.
- If you’re a contractor/contingent worker who is hired as a full-time Jabil employee and you’ve met the benefit eligibility requirements, you’re eligible as of the date you become a full-time Jabil employee. You have 30 days to enroll, and:
- Your benefits will be effective as of your date of hire.
- Your payroll deductions will be adjusted to include any missed pay dates since your date of hire.
- If you transfer internally, you’re eligible as of your date of transfer.
How to enroll
When you’re ready to enroll:
- At work, use your OKTA sign-on and look for the bswift tile, and click it for direct access to the Jabil Benefits Service Center.
OR
If you’re not using OKTA, go to the Jabil Benefits Service Center (jabilbenefits.bswift.com) and log on using:- Username: Your employee ID@jabil.com (e.g., 123456@jabil.com)
- Password: Last 4 digits of your Social Security Number
You can also enroll through the bswift app.
- Follow the steps in the enrollment system. First choose the dependents you’ll cover, then choose your benefits.
- If you enroll in Healthy Plus with Health Savings Account (HSA) and you want to receive Jabil’s contribution to the HSA, don’t waive coverage: when you enroll, set your contribution amount, even if it’s $0. If you waive the HSA, you won’t receive Jabil’s contribution — including any wellness incentives.
- Please review all of your selections. Once you have completed your review, click the “Complete Enrollment” button at the right side of the page.
- You should always save and print your Benefit Confirmation Statement to ensure your elections were stored.
After you’ve made your decisions
Depending on your benefit elections, you may have additional steps to complete your enrollment:
- If you added dependents, you’ll need to provide documentation at the time you enroll. Go to the Jabil Benefits Service Center > Common Actions > Upload Documentation.
Starting the day after you’ve enrolled and saved your benefit choices, you have 30 days to provide required documentation verifying any new dependents you want to cover. If you do not submit the documentation by the deadline and/or it’s not approved, your new dependents will not have coverage.
Note: If you cover children, their coverage automatically ends at the end of the month they turn age 26, unless they’re disabled.
- If you elect Healthy Plus with HSA:
- Register with WEX, Jabil’s HSA administrator, and accept the terms and conditions for access to your HSA and to receive Jabil’s contributions to your account.
- After enrollment, watch for an email from WEX, as you may need to verify your identity (like you do with any bank account). Check your spam/junk/clutter.
If you don’t enroll before your benefits effective date
You must enroll if you want benefits coverage in 2024. If you don’t enroll before your effective date of coverage:
- Jabil only provides short-term disability (STD), post-tax long-term disability (LTD), and Basic Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance coverage to you in 2024.
- You won’t have medical (including pharmacy), FSA, HSA, dental, vision, Supplemental Life or voluntary benefits coverage for 2024.
