Enrol and make changes

Sign up for a benefit plan or make changes to one you’re already enrolled in.

Medical and dental

Enrolment is restricted to the open enrolment period, which is held in June each year. Any current medical or dental selections will carry over if you do not make changes during the enrolment period.

Medical

New hires will be automatically added to the medical plan effective the first of the month following their hire date. This applies to employees only (interns are not eligible).

If you are going on a period of leave and wish to opt out of the private medical insurance, please email adobebenefits@darwin.com for support with this. Please note that if you opt out, you may only opt back in during the June open enrollment window or if you experience an eligible life event.

If you have dependants to cover, note that they are not automatically enrolled in the medical plan. Once you enrol yourself, you can add dependants to your medical plan selection. See Steps to enroll, below.

Dental

New hires must enrol within 30 days from their hire date or during the next open enrolment period. You cannot join the dental plan if you are not part of the medical plan.

If you are going on a period of leave and wish to opt out of dental insurance, please email adobebenefits@darwin.com for support with this. Please note that if you opt out, you may only opt back in during the June open enrollment window or if you experience an eligible life event.

Any eligible dependants must be added to the medical or dental plan within 30 days from the hire date. If you miss this enrolment window, you’ll have to wait until the next open enrolment period or select during a life cycle event (birth, marriage, divorce, etc.). Valid documentation of the qualifying life event may be requested.

Changing your medical and dental enrolment 

During a life event or open enrolment window, you may add a new dependant (for example, a new spouse, a new baby, or adopted child) to your medical and dental plans within 30 days of the date of the marriage, birth, or adoption.

You may also opt out of or in to the medical and dental plan and or add any previously eligible but uncovered dependants. If you miss this enrolment window, you’ll have to wait until the next open enrolment period.

Financial and survivor benefits

Pension plan

Steps to enrol in the voluntary pillar 3 plan

  1. Log in to My Adobe Benefits to join the plan.
  2. Once you have made your selection, you will receive an email to meet with Mercer and sign the NN application form; be sure to bring your national ID card to complete the enrolment process.
  3. Contributions from you and Adobe will then be deducted from the month following enrolment completion.

Once enrolled in the NN pillar 3 plan, you can access your NN pension account, check how your fund is performing, and manage your pension account.
