Lennox offers employees multiple opportunities to enroll in benefits during the year:
Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to enroll in or make changes to your benefits for the next plan year. Your elections will be effective January 1 of the next year.
New Hire Enrollment
Newly hired employees must enroll within 31 days of your benefits eligibility date. Once enrolled, coverage will start the 1st of the following month of your eligibility date.*
If you do not enroll, you will only receive Lennox-paid benefits which include Basic Life and AD&D Insurance, Short-Term Disability, and the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
* If you are on a probationary status, your benefit coverage will start on day 91 after your hire date. If you are transferred to a different status prior to day 91, your benefit coverage may start earlier. Contact your Human Resource Business Partner for more information.

- Confirm Tobacco Use: A $150 per person per month surcharge will be charged if you or your covered spouse use tobacco and enroll in a Lennox medical plan. If you are not a tobacco user, be sure to answer “No” on the Tobacco Use question in BenefitSource during enrollment. You may also complete and submit the affidavits found below.
- Certify Working Spouse Status: You will pay an additional $100 monthly surcharge if you cover a spouse who is eligible for coverage under another employer’s medical plan. If this situation does not apply to you, be sure to answer the Working Spouse Status question accordingly in BenefitSource during enrollment. You may also complete and submit the affidavits found below.
