Ready to Enroll?

Visit Workday to make your new hire elections or report a qualifying life event (QLE).

All new Bioworkers should complete enrollment in Workday—regardless of whether they plan to enroll in benefits. This is your opportunity to understand your employer-sponsored plans, designate beneficiaries, and ensure your information is up to date.

To get started, log in to Workday through OKTA while connected to Ginkgo’s network.

New Bioworkers will get a notification in their Workday inbox that says “Choose Benefits for New Hire Enrollment.” Click the ‘Let’s Get Started’ button to start making your elections.

‍Bioworkers reporting a QLE should:
1. Navigate to the Employee Benefits & Wellness Application
2. Select ‘Change Benefits’
3. Select the appropriate life event option and enter the date the change occurred. Future effective dates are acceptable.
4. Attach any relevant files (ex: birth certificate for newborn, marriage certificate, etc.)
5. Click Submit
6. A dialog box will pop up, confirming that you’ve initiated a life event. Click ‘Open’
7. Then click the ‘Let’s Get Started’ button to start making your elections.

‍After making your selections you will be shown a summary of your benefits. Ensure the information is correct, complete the electronic signature, and submit.

Be sure to review mandatory compliance notices within the Benefits Website. A Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) has been designed to assist you with better understanding the coverage being offered to you. The SBC is available at Benefits Website. A paper copy is also available, free of charge, by calling 877-422-5362.

If you currently use tobacco, you might qualify for an opportunity to avoid the tobacco surcharge by a different means. Contact www.ginkgobioworksbenefits.com. We will work with you (and, if you wish, with your doctor) to develop another way for you to qualify for a waiver of the surcharge.

Your health plan is committed to helping you achieve your best health. Rewards for participating in a wellness program are available to all employees.
