How does an employer handle an employee in a “probationary” period?
An employee fulfilling a probationary period is not yet “eligible” to enroll in the plan offered by employer. As such, the employee would be considered “uncovered” during this period of time. However, please keep in mind, upon completion of the probationary period, the “uncovered” status could change to “covered” for the entire quarter, provided the employee enrolls in the plan the employer offers to pay a portion of … OR … the employee indicates on the completed Declaration of Coverage form that they have health coverage elsewhere.
