Can an employer exclude certain employees from it's Group Health Insurance policy?
Genrally part time employees and contract (1099 paid) employees are excluded from eligibility. the employer can also establish a probationary or waiting period for new employees. This is the length of time the employee would have to work full time before they would become eligible for the health insurance. Typically this period is 90 days, but it can be longer or shorter.
I am pretty sure that if the employer offers group insurance to say ALL full-time employees , then ANY full time employee has to be able to get the insurance offered. But if you are a part-time employee then you dont qualify. Hope this helps!
