Is an employer required to advise of/offer medical benefits to employee at time of eligibility? If so, what is the time period, or is the employee also responsible for requesting or reminding the employer at time of eligibility?
The purpose of these inquiries stems from several incidents that occurred on separate occasions in which our employer failed to offer medical benefits to employees at time of eligibility. The employees are no longer employed; they have either resigned or have been terminated. The time period during which the employees were denied these benefits range anywhere from 5 months to approximately 1-1/2 years. Isn't there a law that requires employers to pay into a certain fund for these benefits? Are current and former employees entitled to any sort of compensation for the time they are denied these benefits?
