- You have 30 days from your date of hire to enroll in or waive coverage.

Hawaii
If you are a regular full-time or part-time Hertz employee and work an average of at least 20 hours per week, your benefits become effective on the first day of the month following four (4) consecutive weeks of continuous employment.
The spouse or domestic partner of a benefits-eligible Hertz employee* can be covered under Hertz medical, dental, and vision coverage, as well as Dependent Life Insurance and AD&D coverage.
Domestic Partner Qualification & Affidavit
- To qualify for domestic partner coverage, you and your partner must meet the criteria outlined in the Affidavit for Domestic Partner Benefits.
- The Affidavit for Domestic Partner Benefits must be signed, notarized, and submitted to the Corporate Employee Benefits Department before any domestic partner benefits will become effective.
- Any premium contributions made by Hertz on behalf of your domestic partner are considered taxable income to you.
The child(ren) of a benefits-eligible Hertz employee* can be covered under Hertz medical, dental, and vision coverage, as well as Dependent Life Insurance and AD&D coverage.
This includes:
- Children, legal stepchildren, adopted children, and/or foster children up to age 26.
- Unmarried children of any age who are incapable of supporting themselves due to a mental or physical disability that began before age 26.
*If both you and your spouse or domestic partner work for Hertz, only one of you can cover the other and/or your child(ren) under Hertz benefits. Under no circumstance can either employee have double coverage, nor can child(ren) be covered by both parents.
Dependent Eligibility Verification
If you enroll a new dependent, you may be asked to provide documentation to verify dependent eligibility. If you’re randomly selected to provide documentation, this will occur after you complete your benefits enrollment. Please note that falsifying information can lead to cancellation of dependent coverage and disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
The Affordable Care Act requires certain employers to offer affordable, minimum value medical coverage to all full-time employees. The company where your spouse works will be able to validate compliance with this requirement or indicate exemption from the regulation. This does not apply if both spouses work for Hertz and does not impact your ability to cover dependent children.
Your benefits are dependent upon where you live.
