I went on FMLA back in March and returned to work the first week of May. I know that I have to pay for my share of the Benefits while on FMLA, but for the last two months, my employer has not deducted money for my health, dental, vision insurance. Is this allowed when one returns from FMLA? My employer knows that I have returned on a specific date. Is this a Department of Labor complaint? I am fearful of losing my coverage.

Have you asked the payroll department about it? It could just be an oversight.

I just received a letter today stating that my coverage for insurance has been terminated. The termination date begins in the middle of my FMLA period. My HR stated that she did not know why it is not being deducted and that it will probably straighten out in a month or so. I had trouble with receiving pay while on FMLA. It was either locally did not do their job or it is setting on someone's desk. My problem now is that I do not have any health insurance, I have a disability with no medicine to help throughout the work day, and that my employer refuses to discuss reasonable accomondations. My supervisor states that I am fine and that I do not need accomondations. My Doctor is rather angry. WHere do I turn?

Go up the line in yo9ur HR department until you reach the top and if it is still not immediately straightened out, threaten to go to the state dept of Labor.

I went to the corperate level of HR and they said that they need to invesigate what happened and they could give me an answer by Tuesday, if not then, Wednesday. I will file a complaint with the Department of Labor. I already have a complaint with the EEOC. It is time for someone to look into these matters at my company. Thanks for the info.
