Your White Castle Benefits.
White Castle is committed to providing our team members with a total rewards program that is both comprehensive and competitive. This digital benefits guide provides a general overview of your benefit choices and enrollment information, as well as useful tips, tools, and resources to help you choose the right coverage for you and your family. As you prepare to enroll:
Consider your benefit coverage needs for the upcoming year. For example, is your family financially protected if you can't work due to an accident or illness?
- Consider other available coverage
- Gather information you'll need. If you are covering dependents, you will need their dates of birth and Social Security numbers. In addition, you may need to provide documentation verifying their eligibility - such as a marriage license or birth certificate.
Getting the most value from your benefits depends on how well you understand your plans and how you choose to use them. Be sure to read this entire guide for important information about your benefit options.
