Guys-I have an employee who has come to me and wants me to get proof he had insurance coverage in 2012. He has a hospital bill from then that has been sent to collections. Anyone else, I would pretty much tell them, sorry, it's not my problem, but this is not someone I'm in a position to do...

As a general piece of advice, could you go down to HR, and ask someone to sit down with you and show you on their computer how to get access?

I agree that I would not let it go so casually. However, you definitely need to consult an attorney who specializes in contract or insurance law (NOT the kind who advertises on daytime TV please). This is not a do it yourself. The recourse the family has is to sue with the representation of...

"It would be easier if he just quit?"!!!! :eek:

I can tell you that I have had employees come in to me with similar attitudes to yours, screaming that they don't have insurance they are paying for. 100% of the time it has either been their doctor's office's error, or their own fault for using the wrong card. And-I work for a small company...

Best thing you can do is be humble, apologize, and say it will not happen again and hope they give you another chance. They are well within their rights.

Yikes!! That sucks.

That face you make when an entire thread of people gives a poster good advice that they have a serious legal exposure, and they come back and just say they know better and it's all fine. :mad:

I'm sorry, are you actually reading people's replies? This is a much bigger issue than your small claims suit. You potentially have violated ERISA (the HUGE law covering employee benefits and 401k plans-think huge, HUGE penatlies) and the PPACA (Obamacare, more huge, HUGE penalties). You...

Good for him!

Child custody is not my area of expertise but I'm confused. Did you not go through the steps to finalize the adoption? I don't understand. If he signed away parental rights, and you legally adopted the child, this shouldn't be a question.

It drives me crazy-we are a company of 12 people-yet it takes at least five suggested dates before I can get a once a year employee meeting on the schedule, and even then it's with whining and you know what....
