New Hires

La-Z-Boy offers a wide range of benefits to support your health and financial wellbeing. Some benefits are provided automatically at no cost to you. Others require you to make an active election during your New Hire Enrollment (or during the next Open Enrollment period).

You must elect or waive coverage within 30 days of your hire date. If you do not enroll by the deadline, you will not have benefit coverage for the remainder of the year besides the benefits automatically provided by La-Z-Boy listed below.

Your New Hire Benefits begin on the 61st day of employment and run through the end of the plan year (Dec. 31).

Note: If you waive coverage as a New Hire, you may choose to enroll during Open Enrollment for the following year's coverage.

Evidence of Insurability

If upon hire or as part of a Qualified Life Event, you elect to enroll in Voluntary Life Insurance above $250,000 you will be required to complete and submit an Evidence of Insurability (EOI). Additionally, enrolling in Spousal Life above $20,000 will require an EOI. An EOI is a health questionnaire that helps us determine whether you and other dependent applicants qualify for new insurance or an increase in coverage. EOI's must be completed within 60 days.

Additionally, during Open Enrollment, if you are currently enrolled in the Voluntary Life insurance benefit with coverage less than $250,000, an EOI is required if you wish to increase your voluntary life coverage by more than $20,000.

Adding Dependents? Verification is Required

If you're enrolling a spouse, domestic partner, or child in coverage, you'll need to submit documentation proving their eligibility — for example, a marriage certificate, birth certificate, or other required document. Coverage for unverified dependents may be pending or terminated if documentation isn't received by the deadline. Upload your documents in Workday.
