Consider Life Insurance
Consider Disability Coverage
Disability coverage is an important benefit that ensures you will receive a portion of your paycheck in the event that you are unable to work due to illness or injury.
Short-Term Disability (STD) coverage is not available in California, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island or Washington.
Salaried Team Members, when eligible, are automatically enrolled in Disability coverage.
If you’re an hourly Team Member, you can decide whether you need Disability coverage.
Check & Update Beneficiaries
Log in to your Workday account to designate or update your beneficiaries.
You can change this designation at any time, but it is a good time to confirm your elections during Open Enrollment or a life event.
Add up Your FSA Savings
If you want to have a flexible spending account (FSA), you must enroll each year.
FSA elections from the previous year will not roll over.
Review/Elect Voluntary Benefits
You can enroll in voluntary benefits such as Optional Life and AD&D for you and your dependent(s), Accident Insurance, and Critical Illness Insurance.
Enroll Using Workday
Log in to your Workday account to complete enrollment online.
Newly-eligible Team Members must enroll within 30 days of their hire date or eligibility date.
Complete Your Wellness Requirement
If you and your spouse/domestic partner are enrolling in a Michaels medical plan, you both must complete an annual physical between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024 in order to avoid a wellness surcharge of $25 per person per paycheck.
Be Tobacco-Free
If you and/or your spouse/domestic partner use tobacco, including e-cigarettes and non-nicotine vaporizers, $25 per paycheck/$650 for the year will be added to your medical premiums beginning in July. To be considered tobacco-free, you can’t use tobacco products for at least six months, and you can only change your status during Open Enrollment.
