I started working for my present company in May 2007 and upon being hired I was promised Medical and Dental Insurance after my 3 month probation, which would be in August 2007. It is now late January 2008 and I still have not been offered benefits through the company I work with. Even though I do not need them because I am covered under my husbands insurance, I would have liked the option of having them. When an employee opts out of comapny benefits the employee is compensated for not participating, is this mandatory? When I bring this to my bosses attention she informs me that since I am not a salaried employee I do not qualify for the company benefits. Is there anything that can be done legally? This just does not seem legit. Thanks in advance!

Well, if you don't really want the benefits, you don't have much of a legal case. I've never seen a situation where a company compensated someone for opting out of medical or health insurance. Good luck, Dana (attorney)
