Short-and-Long Term Disability
We know that illness and disability often bring emotional and financial difficulties. Short- and long-term disability insurance helps offset this burden and is provided to full-time regularly scheduled Stampin’ Up! employees after one year of service. Stampin’ Up! pays 100 percent of the premium for disability insurance; however, you will pay the taxes on the premiums.
