Enrolling in Benefits
Employees eligible to participate in the EnerSys Benefits Program are those employees who are US residents, classified as full time, and who regularly work more than 30 hours per week.
New hires and newly eligible employees must make their benefit elections within their first 45 days of employment or eligibility. Benefits become effective the 31st day in an eligible position. If you do not make elections during your Initial Enrollment window, you will only be able to elect benefits during a future Open Enrollment unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event.
Eligible Dependents
When you enroll yourself in medical, dental, and/or vision coverage, you may also cover your eligible dependents, including:
- Your legal spouse (or common-law spouse where recognized)
- Your same or opposite sex domestic partner
- Natural, step, or adopted children, up to age 26
- Disabled dependent children of any age
- Children of domestic partners (the domestic partner must be enrolled to cover their children)
- Children in the process of being legally adopted, if there is a legal obligation for support
- Children covered under a Qualified Medical Child Support Order who are under the age of 26

Making Changes After Open Enrollment
Because of the favorable tax treatment, you may only change your pre-tax benefits during Open Enrollment or in the event of a Qualifying Life Event (QLE). Changes to benefit elections due to a QLE must be completed and substantiated with the Benefit Service Center within 30 days of the event — or within 60 days in the event of birth or adoption. If not completed by this deadline, changes cannot be made until the next Open Enrollment.
Dependent Verification
Proof of a dependent relationship is required to cover newly added dependents. Failure to submit the appropriate documentation by the specified deadline will disqualify your dependent(s) from coverage.
- Legal spouse – marriage certificate
- Common-law spouse – state-specific issued document
- Domestic partner – notarized Domestic Partner Affidavit, proof of shared residency, and proof of financial interdependence
- Children – birth certificate
To supply the required documentation, scan and upload it at benefitsolver.com by clicking My Tasks near the top of the page, or select your name in the top-right corner and choose Profile > Your Dependents. If you have submitted supporting documentation to Benefit Solver in the past, you will not have to resubmit it unless you receive notification that you are subject to a dependent audit.
Common Qualified Life Events Include
- Marriage or divorce
- Birth or adoption
- Death of a covered dependent
- Change in employment status
- Gaining or losing coverage through a spouse
- Becoming eligible for Medicare or Medicaid
