Select the scenario that applies to you:
Changing From Part-Time to Full-Time
As a full-time Team Member, you have access to Michaels comprehensive health and welfare benefit plans. You will be eligible for benefits effective the day you become full time if you’ve met the initial eligibility waiting period of the first day of the month following 30 days with Michaels. If you have not, you will be eligible for benefits when your waiting period has been met.
Enrolment Deadline
Within 30 days of becoming full-time you must log in to Workday and open your “Change in Status” task in your Workday Mailbox to enroll yourself and eligible family members into benefits.
If you do not enrol during this enrollment window, your next opportunity to enrol will be during our annual benefit Open Enrolment period (which typically occurs in May), unless you experience a qualifying life event (QLE) that allows you to make benefit changes.

Changing From Full-Time to Part-Time
If you are transitioning to part-time, any Extended Health*, Optional Life and AD&D Insurance, Disability, and/or Critical Illness (CI) coverage will end. You can continue to save for retirement in the Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), and get the same Michaels matching contributions. You’ll also still have full access to Team Member Perks & Discounts.
*If you work in Saskatchewan, you remain eligible for Extended Health coverage.
