[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see them wanting you to pay for the entire cost of your coverage if you're out on unpaid leave, but not canceling your coverage. [/quote]

Some companies will drop you from insurance if you aren't working for a period of time (vacation or not), for like two weeks, just for an example. OP, we do not know your employees health coverage and rules. However, you haven't worked their for a full year, so you may not even be eligible for certain benefits. Also, you taking off a month before the baby isn't medically necessary. It's basically a vacation and your employees has the right to not approve it, considering you don't have a doctors note. I'm basically saying, you may not have to go all attorney on them and instead, talk to HR again and ask them what you can do to have that month off and still have coverage of health insurance. I wouldn't piss them off. They too have the right to just fire you.[/quote]

Hmm, no they can't just fire her. Ha, that's a law suit in the making.

Who are these people who respond? Sheesh! TERRIBLE advise![/quote]

Employment lawyer here. Lawsuit for what exactly?  OP is not disabled, she has no medical reason to take this time off, and she is not FMLA eligible. It is a vacation, and the company has the discretion to deny it if they need OP to work during that time. If you can identify some other cause of action based on what OP has said, I'd certainly be interested to learn about it. [/quote]
