• The insurance premiums are deducted weekly by Intrastaff on a pre-tax basis.

*Should the hourly average of hours worked not meet the criteria of 36 hours per week (averaged over 12 weeks),the insurance benefit will be cancelled. Status of insurance cannot be changed during the calendar years and can only be changed (to enroll in or to cancel) during the annual open enrollment period.

*Should the hours worked not meet the hourly criteria, or if a period of two weeks are not not worked, the insurance benefit will be cancelled.  Employees are still financially responsible for paying any due premium(s) to Intrastaff.
