Selection

The Life Events application is an interview application that presents you with data to edit as you navigate through one or more pages.  Typically, the Selection screen is the first navigation page in the Life Events process.  

When do I use the Selection screen?

You can use the Life Events process to make changes to your information other than during the open enrollment season.  Use the Life Events process to complete your new hire process for the first time, or to make changes to existing information after a marriage or the birth of a baby, etc.  Use the Selection page to select the applicable life event and its date.

Life Event Date

Enter the date on which your life event took place.  

The date must be within the period of time allowed for your selected life event.  (Typically, 30 days is the amount of time allowed to make a life event change.)  The system will display the following error message if you are outside the designated timeframe: "Today is outside the change period for the life event you have entered, please see your HR Administrator to make any changes."

Personal Life Event

Select the applicable radio button if your life event is a personal event.  A personal event is a non-work-related one, such as an adoption, the birth of a baby, a divorce, or a marriage.  The personal life events listed are those set up in the system.

Work Life Event

Select the applicable radio button option if your life event is a work event.  A work event is a company-related one, such as a new hire or transfer.

If you select Save, and have not made a radio button selection in either the Personal Life Event table or Work Life Event table, the system will display the following error message: "Event is required."

The system will display the following message if your selected life event requires approval: "The event you have chosen requires approval before you can proceed through the life event process.  You will be notified by your administrator when your event has been approved."
