    Default Contract Not Upheld

    My question involves employment and labor law for the state of:TX

    I accepted a position, which offered health benefits as well as other benefits. The health benefits were listed in the job offer letter and applied immediately upon hire date. The outside benefits were promised in an email. My employer dragged her feet for seven months before finally coming through with health insurance, and has never compensated me for the other benefits. I plan to visit an attorney, but on health benefits alone not being covered like promised, is this a strong enough case? The other benefits through email probably won't be sue-worthy (they amount to approximately 25K).

    was there merely an offer letter or was there an actual contract?

    what are your damages due to the delayed enrollment into the insurance program? Unless you have actual damages, you have no valid claim. The fact you did not have insurance, in itself, is not an injury.

    An offer letter that I signed, accepted and returned.

    A strong enough case for what?

    Was there already a health insurance program in place when you were hired? If so, what does the plan document say with regards to eligibility?
