: I worked for my employer for just over 7 months and was just laid off. The company policy says employees get a review after the first 6 months of employment and at that time they get medical benefits as well. I was never given my sixth month evaluation nor was I offered medical coverage after my sixth month. I just got laid off after 7 months, so my question is am I entitled to any medical coverage, or do you think my employer did it on purpose?
If your employer offered health insurance to the other employees after a six month waiting period, regardless of whether you got a review or not, he MUST offer you insurance after 6 months too. When an employer offers health insurance to some employees and not to others, it's called DISCRIMINATION. You didn't mention what state you're in, but you should contact the Department of Labor (Federal) and they will either help you file a complaint with them or refer you to the appropriate agency where you can file a complaint.
Discrimination is a legally actionable offense.
