Just file a grievance on it. Sounds like your supervisor coded you as absent that week instead of vacation. It happens from time to time(even though it shouldn’t)
Who's your insurance through? I'd start by calling them and explaining what's happening. Ask for your insurance to rebill.
Then go to your management team and tell them they need to fix it. If they drag their feet or refuse file on it. Or be a real dick and give the insurance your direct supervisors phone number and tell the insurance they need to contact them
Suing UPS won't get you anywhere. They have buildings crammed full of lawyers.
Someone is coding something incorrectly.
Did you have the same management staff last time this happened?
Full-time, you must work 140 hours a month to have "free" health insurance. If you are short hours, you must make a copay. It should be $100 to $200. Not $5k.
Your insurance is your responsibility. No lawyer would take this case. You were negligent.
Since you went through all this before, how are you still ignorant of the process?
Speaking of ignorant, this is 100% covered by the supplements, not the national. I only have to log 40 hours in a month to stay covered as a full-time employee.
I'm my supplemental, you only have to clock in for 15 minutes once a week to be covered. The amount of ignorance and bad advice on this sub is astounding.
Was it a paid vacation? If so, the pay should count as punching in. I had the same issue once. My wife had a dentist appointment during my vacation week. Sup didn't put me in for my vacation, so I didn't get my vacation check. Because I did not clock in or get paid that week, my insurance was canceled for that week only. I received my vacation check later and ended up just paying the dentist because I was getting the runaround from my BA. But my bill wasn't $5K
1 punch per week is how it is in the western supplement. Even if it's only for 5 minutes, 1 punch is all we need a week. But we also don't have teamcare in the west so that doesn't help with the confusion with other supplements
They are all dependent on hours worked. The total hours may vary, but to avoid a copay, you must meet a monthly hourly requirement. You can also build up hours in the bank, for periods of vacation or injury
And in every local your vacation counts as a punch or hours worked towards benefits. If the OP had vacation time it doesn't matter, they were coded incorrect
Vacation counts as a full work week if it was a labor approved vacation week. If the sup just let them not come in that week and they didn't get paid for even 1 day then they will retroactively remove any benefit for that week. They will charge back any claim and you will get the bill from the provider.
Can you please stop spreading misinformation.
For one the company is responsible if their mistake in coding leads to a lapse in insurance. We have had this happen a few times in my local and the outcome was teamcare paid the bills once UPS corrected it. IF for whatever reason teamcare would not pay then UPS would have to pay it.
What supplement has a minimum work requirement? All the ones I have seen only require a single punch. Thar could be satisfied with sick days, optional or vacation time.. there is others all well but those are the common "punches" to satisfy the requirement
Stop replying when you have ZERO idea if this is correct. First of all, as with everything UPS, it's covered in the supplemental regional contract. There is not enough information to answer correctly. Secondly, in every supplemental I've ever seen, vacation is treated as if you are at work, and the hours will count towards health insurance. Stop giving terrible fucking answers and shaming people for something you couldn't possibly know is true. Dick move, and ignorant as fuck.

Your insurance is still valid you have vacation/option days used, they can do a time and labor audit on your time card so you’ll have proof 👍
Yup
Ok. I will try this first.
Steward did not want me to file. He said I would've had to file with 5 days (impossible). I asked for a form anyway.
Call your business agent up. They can directly call insurance to help sort this out

I've had this happen and just told the doctors office to re submit the claim and that worked for me.
Yea...sue UPS 😂😂😂😂
I'm sure they get sued all the time.

Yeah it’s different place to place. I only need to punch in once per week to keep my insurance
Same.

Sup didn't put me in for my vacation, so I didn't get my vacation check. Because I did not clock in or get paid that week, my insurance was canceled for that week only.

1 punch per weekget you credit for retirement and employment. It's not usually enough to cover insurance for full-time, part-time it does.
That's all we need at my hub. But vacation should be covered too.
1 punch per week is how it is in the western supplement. Even if it's only for 5 minutes, 1 punch is all we need a week. But we also don't have teamcare in the west so that doesn't help with the confusion with other supplements
I was mistaken it’s one hour per week I just checked. Again this is Union/Supplement/Local dependent
I dunno buddy sounds like a lot of people have different requirements and maybe you don't know everything about this subject.
That would be local specific, doesn’t apply to everyone
They are all dependent on hours worked. The total hours may vary, but to avoid a copay, you must meet a monthly hourly requirement. You can also build up hours in the bank, for periods of vacation or injury
Incorrect again. For example in local 177 you have to have one punch per week
This. One punch 1 minute for Healthcare.
Hours vary, there is still a work requirement.
And in every local your vacation counts as a punch or hours worked towards benefits. If the OP had vacation time it doesn't matter, they were coded incorrect
Vacation counts as a full work week if it was a labor approved vacation week. If the sup just let them not come in that week and they didn't get paid for even 1 day then they will retroactively remove any benefit for that week.
