The only state that has a health insurance mandate is Massachusetts. Employers in Arizona are not required to cover employees who work 30 hours or more. If health reform proceeds, however, employers who have at least 50 employees will be required to offer health insurance to employees who work 30 hours per week. Time will tell.
That depends on the employer and the employer's insurance policy.
Yes, if the employees are different classes -- such as full-time versus part-time, or year-round versus seasonal. Even under the health reform employer mandate, the employer is not required to offer coverage to people working less than 30 hours per week or fewer than 120 days a year.
Yes, in certain situations. For example, 1) If you are no longer considered an "Eligible Employee" - (ie. you no longer work enough hours to be considered full-time); 2) If your employer discontinues the plan for all employee's. Note: Any involuntary loss of coverage may be a COBRA or HIPAA event.
Employees will get group medical insurance if they are at companies with 50 or more employees and work 30 hours per week for at least 120 days a year. Whether the employee is hourly or salaried does not matter. This is the "employer mandate" part of the health reform law. Employees at smaller companies might also be offered a health plan, but smaller companies are not required by health reform to do so. The same is true for part-timers: some employers may offer part-timers coverage, but it is not required. Regardless of employment, all U.S. citizens and certain other legal residents will be required to have health insurance. This is the "individual mandate" part of the law.
It varies from employer to employer, but most health plans define 30 hours per week as full-time. Thus, an employer would have to offer people who work 30 hours per week access to the plan, in order to meet the insurer's standards. Some employers offer coverage to part-timers, though part-timers may pay more of the cost.
lond hours
No. Not if the employer is not set up to offer it to any of his/her employees OR if the company does offer it and you are a 'Part-time employee' working under 35 hours a week OR if you are a 'Full-time employee' and have not worked for the company for 90 days.
The benefits a part time employee receives depends largely on the employer. There are government rules on the number of hours one can work, as well as break time. However, health insurance and other benefits would depend on the employer.
Normally hours are not specified. It is only the condition of the employee that matters. By law the employer is required to 'return to light duty' the injured employee.
Florida law does not cover employee classification or optional benefits eligibility. Employee classification (i.e. full or part time) and optional benefits eligibility are determined by your employer.
