How long do you have to be with a company to receive benefits?

Question

I am temping at a company right now. They tol me that when this projject is over that I will probably be offered a position in the company but I just found outI'm 5 weeks pregnant! Is there any hope of me being signed on in time to qualify for maternity leave and other benefits? And if so what is the cut off point?

Answer 1

It's all about the companies policies for health insurance. some companies will start your benefits day one. Other companies will most likely start benefits after 90 days. Being that you were temping, you are start over when and if they hire you. Your temp service may have benefits however. Look into that.

Are you showing already? Maybe after you get benefits you can ask why am I gaining all this weight with a new DR.  and he'll say " why it seems as though you're pregnant" you then say, "OH MY I didn't know that"

Just kidding...

Answer 2

It is different for every company, you should ask HR.

Answer 3

At my last 2 jobs one you had to be an employee 6 months and the other job 3 months to receive benefits
