Turner & Townsend T&T family package
I just got engaged and a friend said Turner and Townsend needs 6months from marriage certificate to kick in family benefits. Seems fishy, insights?

I don’t work for your company, but legally to change insurance coverage outside of open enrollment you need a “qualifying life event”. Getting married is a qualified life event and is in effect from the day your marriage certificate is signed. Individual company benefits may have different mandates.

Generally, once you have a "qualifying event" - marriage, divorce, death, birth, etc. - you can make changes to your benefits. However, every company is different and it is possible the company does require a waiting period.

Don't rely on your friend. Call your HR/Benefits department and get an answer directly from them.

It's not fishy at all. The organization can enforce any administrative criteria/ requirement for benefits as long as it doesn't violate basic benefits under the law. What you stated should also be specified in the employee handbook.

If it is not, you may have a case for potential denial/ delay of benefits without just cause. If you cannot find any reference to this matter in the EHB or internal website, I would be more worried.

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently
