company refuses to sign me up for med/den

[overtheroad]

I have worked for barbeques galore for 6 months 2 days ago I recieved a letter from or HR person saying that since i didnt fill out my insurance packet and return it wihtin the 30 day window that i would have to wait until the next open enrollment. I never recieved the packet in question and when my maniger called HR they said that nothing could be done I would have to wait for open enrollment. ?? what do i do now how do I get my med/den or better yet what can I do to send a message to the company so that it doesnt happen to anyone else.

If your manager is behind you in this one (I hate HR), get your manager to okay subsidizing your insurance. You pick the insurance and have the company reimburse you.

OR, get your manager to give you a raise to cover those expenses.
