Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?

No I don’t have to make up time if I take a few hours off. Just need to hit chargeable hours for the year.
Are you saying you asked for 100k, for example, and they came back with 85k and said there are 15k in benefits so this is really 100k? If so, that does not seem normal. Your salary is your salary and shouldn’t get missed up with benefits
Most companies will talk about your "total compensation" and insurance is often included in that. So it isn't really weird that they might try to show you how they are paying you what you are asking for. Now obviously everybody involved knows they are kind of blowing smoke up your... because when you said you wanted $X salary in the first place, what you really meant was you wanted $X salary plus $Y benefits, not $Z salary plus $Y benefits to equal $X.
We wouldn’t make up the time. We’d charge the time to a sick code or G&A code or something instead of a client chargeable code.
I know of 1 cpa firm that does something similar to this with er match and other benefits like paid parking, etc and looks at the full compensation package to determine base salary and raises. Depending on what it is, there may be a loophole via opting out of the program which forces them to bump up the base salary. For example, my husband cpa would consider the er match of the 401k plan as part of your base salary even though it has a 6 year vesting period. So to loophole it, you don't participate in the 401k plan which forces them to bump his salary up each year by 2k in addition to his raise. True story.
The time should be accounted for so you're meeting your expected weekly hours, probably a minimum of 40 if you're full-time. If you're not making it up, just put it to PTO. No big deal. Or if you've already hit 40 hours, then your hours are already accounted for. But I wouldn't just short your hours. That will probably get questioned.
No, I've never heard of a job offer including health insurance in the salary offer.
