TheMonarch1110 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 So I'm up for a new job. I have a family of 4. Wife, me, 2 y/o, 1y/o. I'm having a problem with this new HR lady and I don't know if it's just normal or I'm being some picky snog that is wanting more than what they should. I sent an email asking if I can see the insurance plans that would be offered with prices, etc so I can make sure the plans cost doesn't negate too much of the extra $ I would make. She said I can't see that until I'm hired in and start. Is this common? That seems like a huge d*** move to me. Then I'd start in May and have to wait until July 1st to be eligible for insurance ( I hear having to wait a period is normal. I currently work for the school system so things have been different for me thus far with jobs/insurance). It's just a mess for me. Having the young ones, insurance is important for me. On top of that, I do professional wrestling so technically I'm at a risk every show I perform at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they would be able to give you that info if you had a written offer, and especially if you had already signed it and turned it in. This must be a big company? I don't remember not having coverage when i started at my job, but that was 8 years ago so i don't remember now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it was weird they wouldn't let me see the prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might not give you specifics, but you should be able to see a benefit list/information that gives you generals, it's often part of the negotiations.

Some dumbbutt at Jimmy Johns did it back in September and it's slowly been deteriorating since. My case is just a janky Budweiser bottle opener case that cost $3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Someone on fb is posting about taking life saving training at her church for just $25. Does that mean if you have a heart attack everyone at the church gathers around and prays to god to make it go away and then share about it on fb as much as possible to gather up as many prayers as fast as they can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are just interviewing, etc, then no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are just interviewing, etc, then no. My thoughts exactly - it's all depending on where you are in the hiring process. Sounds like there is an offer being created, but nothing formal yet.

Money withheld gets put on line 64 of a 1040, line 7 on a 1040-EZ. AGI is line 37 and 38 on the 1040 and 4 on the EZ. AGI is calculated before accounting for your withholdings.

My wife works there so I'll have her grab the info for herself and just give it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
