Hello Everyone,
As you all know, every year we shop around for the best possible coverage and cost for our W2 full-time eligible employees. We currently have Anthem as our provider for Health, Dental, Vision, Life and Long-Term Disability. In the past, we renewed all of our policies eff 1/1. Since this would sometimes cause our new ID cards to be delayed due to holidays and year-end activity, last year we decided to purchase Health insurance coverage that will expire on 3/31/24 (instead of 12/31/23).
Our Dental, Vision, Disability, and Life policies will continue to expire at the end of December (12/31/23) as they have in prior years. We have received reasonable bids for each of these policies for the new year (2024) and will be sending out plan descriptions and election forms for Dental and Vision coverage very soon.
We will start the process of renewing our Health insurance coverage in Jan 2024. Currently, we have no information on the Health insurance renewal. It will depend on many factors. So, if you have Health Insurance benefits from our company or are planning to elect coverage eff 4/1/24, it is important that you attend this Zoom meeting on 11/30 at 5 pm.

Hello
Due to changing remote work locations (including Hybrid or Onsite) and requirements, we need to make sure that our records are current and correct. For this reason, we will need our employees to provide a breakdown of the hours that they work by location each week.
If your hours are allocated to your work locations using a formula (i.e., 16 hours per week at location 1 – rest at location 2). please describe the formula used in the box at the bottom of the attached form. We will use this formula going forward (until we receive another form from you) so you won’t need to send us weekly breakdown of your hours.
If you are only working at one location, please list that location as Work Location 1 and show “100% at Location 1” in the box.
If the allocation of your time between worksites is not based on a consistent formula, we will need an allocation form (attached) showing the breakdown of your hours between work locations each week. Please send these to us each Monday for the prior week.
Please complete and send this form at your earliest convenience or contact support 614-888-2227 ext. 4680, if you have questions or need help completing the form. We will continue your tax withholding as currently happening until we receive an updated form.
Thanks

Anthem has mailed the 2023 insurance ID cards to the home addresses of all covered employees so you should receive them soon. ID cards are also available on Anthem mobile app “Sydney” (see attached). This app can be used to manage your health insurance activity. If you have any questions or issues, please contact our care provider (page 5 of attached master packet).
These are now available on your ADP online account. We will not be mailing hard copies since soft copies are readily available online.
We will have FREE online training starting the 2nd or 3rd week of February 2023. It will be conducted during evenings and/or weekends. Please send an email to training@absi-usa.com, if you are interested in enhancing your skills for a better future.
