  • what do you mean by "there is no COBRA for the premium-only portion of your cafeteria plan?"
    in COBRA Q's Comment by jmcaa May 2005
  • Yes. I received the same information. I passed it along to our President to see if they wanted to amend our Flex Plan. I would think anyone continuing FSA each year would have their claims automatically applied as you stated IF they had any money …
  • Our organization looked into basing everyone's health insurance premium on a percentage of their base pay. (Right now we pay 67% and employees pay 33%.) Personally I felt that while this was very helpful for people who don't make as much money, it …
  • Some more information please.....what percentage of the premium is the ER paying? Is the ER also giving this contribution to those not electing health coverage? Can your current health group company offer these EEs individual policies? Do you fee…
  • Hey stretched2thin, Thanks for replying.......I've always wondered how much one of those Bose Wave Radio CD Players are! You know when they don't put the price in the advertisement that it costs too much!!!
  • Our company has PTO. It is by far the best! It combines sick leave, vacation leave, and whatever leave. I think it is the way to go. No more having someone call in with a scratchy voice saying they are sick, etc. If you are not feeling good, need so…
  • Thanks Irene! But one of the problems is that the CFO says the Employee should be penalized for not taking responsibility to notify the plan within the correct number of days, so he would like to deny the return of the funds. I was wondering wheth…
  • The dependents are not eligible to elect COBRA since notice of the qualifying event was not given within 60 days. This information is directly from the Third Party Administrator. And, our book states it is not obligated to pay for any claims incurr…
  • We have two employees who work 4 10 hour days each week. When a holiday falls on a Friday, they usually take the Thursday off as the holiday and get paid 8 hours (just like the rest of the regular full-time employees). They either make up the two ho…
  • $0 deductible is VERY generous! BUT, if I were the employee, I would rather have the deductible upped than have the 40-50% increase in my contribution. That is a HUGE jump and would result in many employees being unhappy AND may even cause some to g…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-02-04 AT 01:09PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Our COBRA coverage is NOT ACTIVIATED until PAYMENT IS RECEIVED. We are self-insured, therefore every month a person is on COBRA, if we have not received their paym…
  • Have you sent him a letter notifying him that his health insurance will be cancelled within so many days if full payment is not received? I think you need to have the documentation showing he was aware of the situation and what he had to do to be c…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-26-04 AT 03:53PM (CST)[/font][br][br]We pay approximately 67% of the cost and employees pay the other 33% Single OR Family Coverage. We are self-insured.
  • I believe in KY you have to pay out any accrued leave that has been earned either on the termination date or the next regular pay day.
  • 1st 30 days - nothing, next 31-90 days 60% then long-term disability.
  • We have PTO. I love it! If I just need a day off, I can ask my supervisor. Personally, each January I look at the accrued leave time I have available and deduct out for vacation days, day after Thanksgiving, time between Christmas and New Year's, …
  • Our employees pay 33% of the cost. We are self-insured also. Our employees pay $104 per month for Single and $279.50 for Family. How many employees do you have in your self-insured plan?
  • HCCADC, I found it in the "Eligibility for Coverage" section between the "Right to Continue Benefits under the Family and Medical Leave Act..." and "Right to Continue Benefits under Federal Law." Our section was titled "Reinstatement of Coverage Dur…
  • Check your Plan Document. Our states that "If the employee or his/her covered Dependents qualify and elect COBRA continuation and subsequently again become eligible for coverage under the Plan during the designated COBRA continuation period (with no…
  • > >1. We currently have annually for all FT staff, >20 days of vacation, 15 sick days (no STD), 4 >emergency days for illness for spouse, parent, >child, 4 bereavement days for each death, and 1 >personal day. Adding all those …
  • I remember hearing about this as proposed legislation. Don't know if it is final yet though.
  • If you haven't put him on FMLA, then you should do that immediately. I would contact him today and have him get the Certification of Health Care Provider Form WH-380 filled out. Let him know that his portion of the health insurance has to be paid re…

  • Our Tuition Reimbursement Form states that if the employee VOLUNTARILY leaves within 12 months then they have to reimburse any tuition money paid to them in the last 12 months. We are not in business to put employees through school. They were hired…
  • What is an "eligible" employee as listed in your Plan Document? If it states "actively at work" "full-time employee working 30 hours or more per week," then you could have a problem. If this former employee does NOT meet the eligibility requireme…
  • Employee pays: $1,248.00 per year for Single Coverage ($48/ppd) $3,354.00 per year for Family Coverage ($129/ppd) We are self-insured with about 125-180 employees. We just in…
  • What kind of administrative work is involved when you have employees with AFLAC policies? How is the enrollment, etc. done when you have locations in 3 different states? Thanks!

  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-30-03 AT 09:15AM (CST)[/font][p]You can check out this link regarding section 125 plans and qualifying events. [url]http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/tres_reg-1125-4.pdf[/url] I would let him join the …
  • You might want to check out the article linked below concerning the IRS Ruling. The ruling states that OTC drugs MAY be reimbursed through FSAs. Regarding your plan document, our TPA writes it, we look over it, then distribute it. [url]http://ww…
