General question on employee benefits, HR person needed
- Thread starter jmartinroe
- Start date
there are disclosure laws espeically with reitrement plans that involve any type of company match.
If you have been put on short work weeks when you were originally working full time, Id be looking for another job first, then worrying about the 401k.
They either are hurting financially or something else is going on, are they happy with your work?

Are you an actual employee (as in, do you get a W-2 at end of the year), or a 1099 temp contractor (get a 1099 MISC income form)? Very strict rules regarding 401k offerings to employees, but "temp" employees can be defined in many ways, leaving many options for paying and offering benefits.
I get a w-2.
There are a number of ways to structure things. The smaller the company the more leeway they get. The larger the company the more risk at not following the "rules".
I've even had an owner/manager healthcare plan and never offered it to employees. So no not everyone has to have the same benefits. And some of the previous answers are right as well. Obamacare has some guidelines covering that, however several mandates have been "delayed", which is hilarious they can pass a law but delay the parts that may hurt them in election years.
To be fair the system is so royally ****ed up that even paid HR companies don't know all the changes every year. So expecting a small business owner to keep up with it all is just ridiculous.
Another reason why the .gov is strangling the American Dream.
I would just talk to them (owner).

Recommend you look deeper into 401k plan requirements, participation, non-discrimination, etc., all of which must be spelled out clearly by the plan's administrator. Good info available at the Department of Labor website related to employee benefits.

My question would be why you are only working 3 days a week. I'm in the construction industry and we are turning down more work than we take on. The commercial side is booming right now. Even my friends doing residential are staying busy. I think I would be looking for a new job.
Just look at how many cranes you see in the sky around Atlanta. You didn't see that 5 yrs ago.
Just my $.02.

filing a grievance isn't covered.
if you get canned for filing an EO or "whistle-blower" complaint, most attorneys will take the case
