The Situation
One Missing COBRA Notice Exposed a Bigger Benefits Problem
A 180-employee commercial mechanical contractor received a request for plan documents after a laid-off pipefitter said his COBRA notice never arrived. Crews scale up and down with the season. HR tracked benefits on a spreadsheet while field hours came in from foremen on paper. The group's first instinct was to ask which policy would respond. That was the wrong question.
The Prevent365 Approach
Trace the Compliance Gap Back to the Process
The missing notice turned out to be a symptom. Benefits + HR Coordination followed it back and found that nobody actually owned eligibility for the field workforce. Crews went home in November and came back in March, and variable-hour measurement ran one way in the office and another way on the jobsite. In peak season, terminations reached the carrier weeks late. A Handbook Review surfaced the other half: the eligibility language handed out at orientation did not match the plan documents.
The Outcome
Build a Benefits Process That Closes the Gaps Insurance Can’t
Eligibility now runs on one calendar with one owner, and ComplianceCheck keeps the group's ERISA, ACA, and COBRA obligations mapped against what is actually happening week to week. Every layoff and rehire triggers a documented notice. That matters because regulatory penalties sit outside what any policy pays. Management liability coverage responds to certain benefit-related claims. It does not write the check for a fine.Learn how Prevent365 addresses risks a policy structurally cannot reach.
