RELX offers several health, protection, retirement, financial and wellbeing coverage options, as well as time away from work, so that you can choose benefits that fit your life—wherever you are. For most coverage, including health and protection benefits, you’ll need to enroll within 31 days of your hire or rehire date, and then again during Benefits Annual Enrollment each year (typically held in the fall). You can change your coverage during the year only if you have a qualifying life event, such as getting married or having a child. More details are available online or by calling the RELX Benefits Center. Both you and RELX share in the cost of your coverage, including for your spouse/partner and eligible children. You contribute to the cost of your benefits coverage through per pay period contributions. These contributions are based on your base salary plus target incentive or commission (if applicable), where you live and who you choose to cover. RELX provides a subsidy that can be applied to any medical and dental coverage that you purchase through the Aon Active Health Exchange™. People who are eligible for the benefits include: Full- and part-time employees working at least 20 hours or more per week; your spouse or partner; and children up to age 26 for medical and 19 (or 23 if a full-time student) for dental and vision. Other eligibility requirements may apply for certain benefits.
