New Hire Checklist
If you are hired between October 5, 2026, and December 31, 2026, you will have to enroll first in 2026 benefits and then in 2027 benefits.
The enrollment system will prompt you to enroll first in your 2026 benefits and then in your 2027 benefits. If you do not enroll in 2027 benefits after enrolling in 2026 benefits, your 2026 elections will carry over, as long as you remain eligible.
There are two exceptions:
If you do not enroll in an Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), the contribution amount will default to $0.
Also, we are offering two Dental plans in 2027.If you enroll in the 2026 Dental plan and do not make an active election, you will be automatically enrolled in the High Dental plan for 2027. If you want to enroll in the Low Dental plan in 2027, you must make an active election.
The 2026 Health & Protection benefits you enroll in will be effective on your date of hire and will remain effective through December 31, 2026, unless you experience a Qualified Status Change and remain eligible.
The 2027 Health & Protection benefits you enrollin will be effective on January 1, 2027, and remain effective through December 31, 2027, unless you experience a Qualified Status Change and remain eligible.
To help you make your benefits decisions, review the Benefits Guide and read the FAQs. There are also Benefits Videos that provide an overview of your Baker Hughes benefits (you may have additional benefits that are not covered in these videos).
Here’s a benefits checklist to help you keep everything straight as you enroll in your benefits.
