Bendich, Stobaugh and Strong, P.C.
Class Action Law Firm
Washington state employees who work half time walk a tight rope when it comes to benefits such as health insurance and pension contributions. When the State seemingly arbitrarily dips employee's work-time below fifty percent randomly and intermittently, causing them to lose access to needed benefits, questions arise: "Is it fair? Is it legal?"
Contact us to schedule a consultation if you are a half-time employee of the State and have been denied benefits when your work-time percentage was lowered to 49% time or less.
The downtown, Seattle, law firm of Bendich, Stobaugh and Strong, P.C., has a three-decade tradition of taking on large government and private entities, such as the State of Washington, on behalf of workers who have been mistreated. Attorneys of the employment class action law firm have achieved victory on behalf of public employees including university and community college faculty who were denied benefits. Government employers, like private employers, often classify employees as temporary or keep their percentages lower than 50% deliberately.
Our legal work on behalf of State employees in need of health insurance includes preparation and presentation of compelling arguments such as the following: if a worker's average percentage over the long term is more than 50%, he or she should be considered a half-time worker even when in a particular season or year, the percentage dips below 50%.
Contact the employment law attorneys of Bendich, Stobaugh and Strong, P.C. regarding state employment, health insurance, and pending or potential class action claims and lawsuits designed to bring relief and justice for half-time workers.
