So it came time to fax my paperwork, I tried to explain why I had taped it up with several pieces of tape. I say, "It says right here that if you want to protect your privacy you can tape up pages 2 and 3. But its not really a big deal, I can untape it if needed"". My boss says, "Okay, I promise not to look at it".
Later... my boss comes in and says, "I just wanted to let you know, the insurance may say you have to wait a certain period of time to allow for preexisting conditions. So, if you have some medication you were on, don't get right back on them until that time period is up, or they may try to say it was a preexisting condition and they won't cover it.
So after that, I figure he looked at the meds I was on (it was kind of obvious), but was at least trying to give me some good advice.
And although I agree with JadeKelly that its probably not exactly legal, like Dinah said its different for a small company. Your HR person is also your boss, so what are you going to do, quit?
So.,..there you go. We'll see what happens next.
