Congratulations on joining AECOM! Here’s what you need to know to get started with your benefits.
Watch for Your Benefits Enrollment Notification
Within two weeks of your hire date, you’ll receive an email from the AECOM Benefits Service Center with instructions for electing your benefits. This email will guide you through accessing your personalized benefits account at myaecombenefits.com.
You have 31 days from your hire date to choose your benefits:
- Log in and select New User? to register your account.
- Check your Notification Center for enrollment instructions.
If you don’t enroll within 31 days, you’ll receive default benefits automatically provided by AECOM — for most employees, this means no medical, dental, vision or voluntary benefits coverage.
The Medical Expense Estimator helps you compare plan options and choose what’s right for you and your family. Simply answer questions about the medical services you expect to use next year. The tool calculates estimated out-of-pocket costs plus your employee contributions so you can see the total likely cost for each plan.
If you elect benefits for a dependent, you’ll need to confirm their eligibility by submitting a supporting document (e.g., marriage certificate, birth certificate). You can submit these documents after enrollment. View the list of documents here.
If you enroll a domestic partner or domestic partners children, current federal tax laws provide that if your domestic partner does not qualify as your tax-qualified dependent, then the cost of his or her medical, dental and vision plan coverage must be made on an after-tax basis. The same is true for any other covered dependents (for example, the children of your domestic partner) who do not qualify as your tax-qualified dependents. Therefore, the fair market value of your non-tax qualified dependents’ health plan coverage is required to be added to your gross income and is subject to applicable federal and state income tax withholding and employment taxes. This additional income, called “imputed income,” will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service
(the “IRS”) on your Form W-2 and will appear on each of your paychecks.
- Your benefit elections (and paycheck contributions) will be retroactive to your date of hire.
- You will receive ID cards within about 10 business days after enrollment. Download your carriers apps for electronic ID cards.
You will be automatically enrolled at a 1% contribution level in the Retirement & Savings Plan (RSP) – 401(k). You may want to contribute more to receive the full company matching contribution and reach your savings goals.
Employees working under a collective bargaining agreement or other contract may be eligible for a different 401(k) plan. If you have questions about your plan eligibility, please contact Bank of America Merrill at 877.637.4226.
You can also start contributing to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) to invest in AECOM stock at a discounted rate.
