MMC Benefits Handbook
How the Plan Works
Enrollment
You can enroll or opt out of the Plan:
- as soon as you are eligible, or as of the first day of any future pay period, as long as you remain eligible, or
- after 30 days of employment, if you do not opt out of the Plan you will automatically be enrolled in the Plan.
Your participation is effective the first day of the next available pay period. Contributions will be deducted from your paycheck for that pay period and invested the same business day.
Contributions will not be made retroactively.
You may make enrollment decisions online or by phone. The transaction submission deadline for online enrollment is 1 a.m. Eastern time on the Monday that is at least 11 business days (if you are on the semi-monthly payroll) or 5 business days (if you are on the weekly payroll) before the next pay date. To enroll online, go to Colleague Connect (https://mmcglobal.sharepoint.com/sites/Home). Select Pay & Benefits, and click My Pay & Benefits, select Transamerica under Savings & Financial Planning. Alternatively, you may enroll by calling HR Services at +1 866 374 2662 no later than 8 p.m. Eastern time on the Friday that is at least 11 business days (if you are on the semi-monthly payroll) or 5 business days (if you are on the weekly payroll) before the next pay date. If you do not meet the applicable deadline (as described above), your enrollment will be effective the first day of the second pay period following your notice. The deadlines that apply to you may be different if you are on a payroll system that is not managed by Marsh McLennan. Contact HR Services to determine if you are subject to different deadlines and if a holiday falls within the processing cycle to confirm the transaction submission deadline.
If you enroll for the first time and make no investment direction election (whether through active enrollment or automatic enrollment), your future employee before-tax and after-tax contributions and Company matching contributions (if you have completed a year of vesting service) will be invested automatically in one of the BlackRock LifePath Index Funds (the BlackRock LifePath Index Fund that most closely matches your retirement year – based on the Plan's normal retirement age of 65).
