Temp. ee goes full time regular ee

T · January 2004

Our policy states that a "full time, 40 hrs or more, regular ee, you are eligible for insurance after 90 days. I have a temp ee whom we are putting as full time regular, what date do i use in determining when ee is eligible for insurance? Her original hire date or her full time regular ee date? It seems almost unfair to make her do her 90 days over again?

Thanks.

You're not really making her do her 90 days over again. The 90 days are as your employee in eligible status. If she was a temp she was the agency's employee, not yours.

Thanks.

We too would use the date she was put on our payroll. Before that she was not our employee just as if we were to hire someone off the street--they would have to wait 90 days as well.

We would make her effective date the 90 days after she became a regular full time employee.

Interesting note. I have an employee who thought the grass was greener on the other side and left the day before Xmas. She is now coming back and doesn't "understand" why she has to start over again! Duh.
