Disney offers a range of financial benefits designed to help employees build financial security. In addition to the 401(k), eligible employees also receive Company-funded contributions into a retirement savings account after one year of service. Employees also have access to financial counseling, consulting, planning and guidance tools and resources to prepare for long term goals.

Disney provides paid sick time to eligible employees. In addition to using this benefit for their own illness, injury or mental health, employees may use paid sick time to care for a family member, or in other specified circumstances.

 The Walt Disney Company classifies positions based on where an employee performs their work. Many employees work on-site at a Company-designated location on an ongoing basis. Certain employees work remotely (typically from home) on an ongoing basis with no dedicated workspace at a Company-designated location. All other employees work primarily on-site at a Company-designated location and occasionally from home/remotely on a schedule determined by the Company. The Company determines how positions are classified and may change a role’s classification and specific requirements at any time if it is not supporting business needs or conducive to productivity, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Regardless of how their position is classified, employees may be able to obtain additional flexibility through a flexible work arrangement request. Flexible work arrangement options include Flex Schedule, Flex Place or a change of work state.

Disney offers resources to support pet owners at every stage—from choosing a pet to ongoing care. These may include access to referrals for veterinarians, pet back up care, pet sitters, and dog walkers, as well as information on pet insurance, training, and other pet-related services

Disney has many opportunities for volunteering and charitable giving.

For more information, visit here.

Through the Disney VoluntEARS Grants program, employees and cast members can turn their eligible hours of volunteer service into financial contributions from the company to eligible charities of their choice.

Our campuses and offices are arranged in a way to maximize productivity and collaboration across and amongst teams. In addition to each business unit's allocated workspaces, most of our offices and campuses have shared community seating areas, workspaces, coffee bars and other areas that teams can leverage when hosting team meetings or group brainstorms to help ensure thoughtful and productive meetings.

Conference rooms and, in some locations, seating pods or private offices are available to reserve for confidential conversations.

Community and hoteling workspaces vary by office and campus and may or may not leverage a reservation-based booking system. Some business units have free address community hoteling spaces, meaning employees may choose to sit from any available workspace within their business unit's allocated space — no reservation necessary. Other business units have assigned workspaces or leverage a reservation system to reserve workspaces.

Accommodations

Disability accommodations are reasonable modifications to a job or the work environment that enable an employee with a disability to perform the essential functions of their job. Accommodations may be temporary or ongoing, depending on the individual circumstances, and they are meant to support an employee with a disability without changing the essential requirements or expectations of their job. Requests for accommodations are guided by Company policy and certain legal requirements.

Essential job functions are the key duties that are fundamental to the performance of a role. Essential functions cannot be removed or changed because doing so would fundamentally alter the role itself.

There is a wide range of accommodations that may be available to employees, depending on the nature of their condition and job duties, as well as business needs. Some examples of accommodations may include, but are not limited to, adjustments to the physical workspace, schedule modifications, additional breaks during the workday, lifting restrictions, service animals, assistive technology, and flexible work arrangements.

While each person's situation is individual and there is no one formula to capture how the accommodations process proceeds for all employees, Employee Relations will schedule time to meet with you to learn more about your request, explain the full accommodations process, and answer any questions you may have. Accommodation requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and Employee Relations will determine if any supporting documentation is needed. If a reasonable accommodation is possible, Employee Relations will discuss with you how it will be implemented and any future follow-up that may be needed.

Yes. You are encouraged to initiate a request as soon as you feel an accommodation is needed to perform your essential job duties due to a disability. We understand it may take some time to see a health care provider. When feasible, your accommodation may be temporarily granted for a reasonable amount of time while you are working on getting your medical documentation. This type of temporary accommodation may not always be feasible depending on the circumstances.
