[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Uh actually yes, they can just fire her. It's call "at-will employment". She needs to look at her offer letter before taking any actions. [/quote]

Not if its because of the pregancy- OR I guess they can they will just have to pay.

But it's not because of the pregnancy. It's for her exhausting her leave and not coming back to work, or taking unapproved leave.  I can 100% promise you this is permissible, since she is not covered by FMLA. [/quote]
