My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Utah
My girlfriend's company advised her that she was eligible for health insurance in November of 2012, 60 days after her re-hire to the company. She had left the company less than 6 months prior and came back. Upon returning to work, she asked her company when she would be eligible for benefits and the company advised her 6 months was the benefits waiting time for employment with the company. Now, the company is saying that she should have filed back in November, but because she waited, as she was advised by the company to do, the company wants to charge her twice her monthly premium to make up for the three months from november to the end of January. I'm trying to figure out if this is legal and have been racking my brain. Any information and assistance would be greatly appreciated.
