Guest Diane Stanford Posted November 2, 1999 Posted November 2, 1999 Are employers liable to offer benefits to a temporary, contract worker for a position of approx 4 months duration? They are not represented by any agency and will be filling out a W-4 and I-9 form. They will be working 40 hour weeks for approx 16 weeks. I was told we have to offer the same benefits as fulltime employes even though this person will only be working for us for 4 months on contract. Any documents out there outlining our responsibilities if any?
Guest nac Posted November 2, 1999 Posted November 2, 1999 What are the eligibility requirements in your plan docs? If temp ees are not a covered class, you're not required to offer them coverage.
Guest nb Posted November 2, 1999 Posted November 2, 1999 I agree with nac. Your plan doc's will tell you who is eligible for your benefits. If they are not explicit, how about hiring the individual through a temp agency?
