Guest klmann Posted December 10, 2002 Posted December 10, 2002 Is there rules or regulations regarding an error on emploer dudcutions. The employee started in July 2002, filled out the correct paperwork for benefits, got the insurance cards, and was considered enrolled. They found out in Dec. the payroll never received the deduction form from benefits, and now they have to back date them.
Sandra Pearce Posted December 10, 2002 Posted December 10, 2002 If you mean that the employer needs to back-charge the employee for the benefit that the employee was in fact enrolled for, there is nothing that would prevent that. I am sure the employee knew that the benefit had a cost and should have called the oversight to the attention of the employer as soon as the first deduction was skipped.
QDROphile Posted December 10, 2002 Posted December 10, 2002 Just in time for Christmas! If you really mean back charging as described above, you need to think about it carefully. The employee authorized pay reduction from each payment. The back charge will not be in compliance with the employee's agreement. The mathmatical solution may not be optimal or even proper.
Sandra Pearce Posted December 10, 2002 Posted December 10, 2002 QDROphile, Do you mean that you would not take the back premiums owed?
QDROphile Posted December 10, 2002 Posted December 10, 2002 I did not give an answer and would not without all the facts and considering all the options and having input from the employee. Maybe the employee could stand a current catch up on the missed amounts out of remaining pay. Maybe you have to go to EPCRS methods.
