The Aetna Small Business policy I have requires a 90 day period before new employees are eligible for coverage. In the past, we have covered 50% of their Cobra payments from their prior employer or in one case, paid 50% of their current individual policy.

Florida requires employers to pay 50% of the health insurance premiums, but only for the company policy. I just figured it was the right thing to do as it is a benefit and it didn't seem right to shortchange people for 90 days.
