Open enrollment toolkit ❯ Last chance reminder email
Description: Send this email to employees 24-48 hours before the open enrollment period ends. It serves as a final reminder and emphasizes the importance of completing their open enrollment before the deadline.
HTML/Formatted Version:
[FIRST NAME],
You have [X hours / until tomorrow at TIME] to make your 2027 benefits elections.
If you haven't enrolled yet, log in here: [PORTAL LINK]
This is the one deadline that doesn't move. After [DATE], you're locked into whatever coverage you have — or no coverage at all — until 2028. The only exception is a qualifying life event: marriage, new child, job change.
If you're in the middle of deciding: pick the plan that covers your most likely needs this year and submit. A decision made today beats a default you didn't choose.
Already done? You're all set — nothing else needed.
