What is the name of your state? New York
Hopefully someone can answer this question regarding health care for me. My friend works for a small company of approximately 9 employees. Some are offered health insurance and some are not, my friend is in the "not" category. I understand there are no provisions for a business to offer all employees health insurance, but in this case the reason he is being told that it is not offered to him is because he has to work "full time" hours to be eligible. He is scheduled for a full 8 hours each day (8 1/2 if you want to get technical to provide for lunch). He does frequently leave work early on fridays for an ongoing medical appt he has to attend, but he is scheduled for 40 hours each & every week and his employer allows him this time unpaid. Him & at least one other service tech have not been offered it, yet another, who happens to be the bosses son as well, have it. They are all considered service techs. I believe this boss is confusing what "full time" hours really means, he's thinkin that if he doesn't actually work the hours he's not "full time", in my understanding, it's the hours you are scheduled for. Can someone please clarify if he should be eligible or not. Thank you.
