A friend has asked me to pose this question for her...as an HR manager (not at her place of employment), she asked me for advice on this and I am at a loss as to what she needs to do.
She went to work for a company 6 years ago. At the time, she was supposed to be enrolled in health insurance and life insurance after 90 day probation was reached. Flash forward 6 years later, the accountant shows up and hands her a check for a "refund" of 6 years of life insurance premiums they deducted from her check. They never enrolled her in the life insurance portion of her benefits thru a snafu in the office. Worst part is, she is now a diagnosed diabetic (wasn't 6 years ago) and she cannot get life insurance anymore without extreme hardship. The company has refused to further discuss the subject and is offered no alternative solution or made any effort to remedy the situation.
Is her company legally obligated to fix this impossible situation?
