Warning to any future parents out there, make sure your full time supervisor files the proper paperwork or punch in at least once per week for however long your leave lasts or your health insurance will lapse.
I confirmed multiple times with my PT sup that I would take a week off while my daughter was being born, but I found out weeks later that my insurance lapsed for the week I took off to be with my wife in the hospital which left me on the hook for thousands of dollars in medical bills. Apparently if you don't punch in for 5 consecutive days, your insurance will lapse.
I know im a ing idiot for not talking to a full time or a shop steward, but it's still crazy. I talked to my steward and they are helping me out, but it's still a major headache having to call AETNA and teamcare to handle it.
