[StBernard] HEALTH INSURANCE

[Westley Annis]

Regarding health insurance,
 
My understanding was that during the state of emergency there was no
cancellations of flood or homeowner policies.  I am not aware of an order
regarding health insurance- I believe that the normal laws governing the
coverage remained in effect which means COBRA.  As far as the sick time and
other unpaid leave- I believe that is handled consistent with the company
policy for any other time-  if you do not get any resolution, it may be best
to check with an attorney as I am not or a labor expert as I am not one.
 
Good luck and God Bless,

WESTLEY OR CRAIG,
 
My employer has notified our staff on November 3, 2005 that as of October 1
they are canceling our health insurance. It was my understanding ,as well as
my co-workers, that no insurance policy could be canceled until the state of
emergency was lifted or until December 31. Do you know if this is right for
them to do?  also , do we have the right to get paid for our unused sick and
vacation time?
