Legal Question in Employment Law in California
health benefits cut with 6 day notice
I just recently quit working at a small
hair salon that cancelled all out medical
benefits with 6 days notice. I have been
told by some people that this is illegal.
I have multiple sclerosis so obviousley
this is a huge problem for me, I had
even discussed this with the owner in
the past letting her know that if she cut
the benefits that I would have no choice
but to look eleswhere for work. I
realize that she does not legally have to
provide benefits, and that I am eligable
for COBRA.
Thanks for you time!

Re: health benefits cut with 6 day notice
I hope you are able to get COBRA benefits, and/or get coverage at a new employer, because that is about all you can do.
