What is a Qualifying Event?

A qualifying event is a life event that may necessitate a change to your health, dental and vision insurance coverage or to your contributions to your health care or dependent care FSA. Common events include marriage, divorce, adoption, birth, or gaining/losing coverage from another source. The regulations require that any benefits change due to a qualifying event must be on account of and consistent with the event. For example, if you get married, you may add your spouse to your health plan or drop your Smith health coverage to join your spouse’s plan.

All benefit changes due to a qualifying event must be made within 30 days of the event’s effective date. For example, if a baby was born on April 4th, you would have until May 4th to add your baby to your health insurance. For any benefits changes for life events, always use the date in which the event happened (e.g. baby’s birth date) as the effective date in Workday.

Life Insurance

Certain life insurance elections and/or changes require you to submit evidence of insurability (EOI) to Lincoln Financial Group in order for your coverage to be approved. While Workday will often trigger an EOI task after you submit a life insurance coverage request, you can access and submit your Evidence of Insurability directly via Lincoln’s secure website at http://www.mylincolnportal.com/. First time users should register using company code Smith-EE.  

Lincoln Financial may reach out to you for more information and with your application status.  If approved, your coverage and premiums will be updated in Workday.

Changing Personal Information in Workday

All of the following can be found in the Personal Information app on your Workday home screen. The icon looks like a driver’s license.

Preferred Name

You can change your preferred name at any time without documentation. Use the Personal Information application on Workday. First and last name are required.

Legal Name

Doing a Legal Name change requires documentation. Federal regulations require employers to validate that the employee's name on record exactly matches the name which appears on the individual's Social Security card to ensure proper tax reporting.

Addresses & Contact Information

Effective April 1st, 2019, Human Resources will not be updating addresses. If you need to change your address, you can do so under the View column. This goes for any contact information, such as emails and phone numbers.

Pay & Tax Documents

Year End Tax Documents

Due to our Workday transition, all W-2s will be distributed electronically. If you want to receive a paper copy, go into your Pay application (the icon looks like a wallet).

Payslips

Payslips can be accessed at any time from the Workday home screen under the Pay application. Your three most current payslips automatically show up. To access older payslips, use the Payslips button under the View column.
