Started with this company as a seasonal/temp employee working 40+ hours/week back in December of 2015. After the Holidays were over, I was asked to go part-time on an as needed basis. Which was 3 days/week covering for a regular employee that was gone from surgery. I didn't know if I would even have any regular part time hours once she returned from surgery. On 2/1/16 I received a benefit package from HR stating i'm eligible to enroll with a 3/1/16 effective date. The Memo states "After enrolling in insurance, you must maintain an average of 30 hours per week to continue to be eligible for insurance" The forms had to be turned in no later than 2/24/16 otherwise wait until open enrollment towards the end of 2016. So I was averaging 40/week as a temp, which i can only assume was rolled into part time 3 days a week (24 hours/week). I didn't sign up because I wouldn't be able to average the 30 hours to stay eligible, also I was a part time as needed basis.. After the fact I was given a full time position and told because I didn't sign up at that time I have to wait for open enrollment. I'm trying to read all over google before going back to annoy HR. My job status changed from part time to full time, do I still have to wait for open enrollment or does my employer have to honor the benefits?
