Two of our lower-paid female employees have children who are not covered by health insurance. Reason being , is that this company does not pay for dependent
coverage. So I arranged for a rep from the local community health clinic to visit our plant and tell these employees what the benefits were ( cost monthly of coverage only for children $ 4 - $ 27 ).The two employees verbally said they wanted to sign up, and agreed to come in to the clinic to register. So the rep said the employees would be calling the employees at home. A week passed, and I called the clinic to follow up. The rep said one employee had missed an appoinment to register at the clinic, and the second could not be reached at home. So I asked the rep to come to our factory again. The rep agreed to come last Monday. On the Friday before ,I repeatedly reminded both employees of the appointment. Very early Monday, both employees said they wanted a postponment of the appointment as both said they forgot to bring the paperwork necessary to enroll. On Tuesday, the rep came in - and only one of the employees had even brought in part of the paperwork... that employee still has to go to the clinic to finish the registration .While the other employee brought , again, nothing - and still has to go to the clinic to register the children.I will have to follow up with the clinic later to find out what happens.
I tried. Some employees just want to do it the hard way.
