Beg to differ if you like, but Heather is right. Perhaps YOU
initiated the end of employment in your experiences. That might be
different. But if a company lets an employee go — either
permanently or even a temporary lay-off — many companies terminate
all benefits on that day. Many employers pay half the premium, and
many also pay for the medical benefits (self-insured). If an
employee is terminated on the 5th of the month, for example, there is
no way the employer is going to leave that employee’s benefits in
force for another 25 or 26 days and have to pay out the benefits for
a terminated employee…….. It’s just business.
