What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
Hello, As part of my new job, I will receive health benefits beginning December 1.
My employer has said they will begin deducting my portion of health insurance premiums beginning payperiod November 16-29. To me, this doesn't seem fair, as I will be in a sense paying for coverage that I won't have during that period. It of course makes sense to have premiums deducted the following period (Nov 30-Dec 13), during which coverage initiates, but to deduct prior to that, for a payperiod following entirely outside of when I'm covered by the benefit, seems unfair. Am I missing something here that could better help me understand my employer's perspective?
