Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Employers policy manuel

Shortly after I was hired my employer change his policy manual to require employment for 15 years before I can keep medical coverage after retirement instead of 10 years. I want to retire after 10 years, suffer with diabitis and will have trouble finding medical coverage. Does Florida recognize the prior policy as an implied agreetment? My consent to the change was never requested.

Re: Employers policy manuel

you may have an ADA case, if the employer based his decision on your disability; ERISA may be implicated as well; it is possible that a court might say that that the former employment policy if written could have been a "quasi, implied contract".

since your issues deal more specifically with fringe benefits, resubmit this question to those attorneys who specialize in insurance and retirement issues.. best of luck!!
