Employment contract language/Contract breach

rfycom · Jan 6th, 2008, 06:40 PM

My employment contract has this sentence in it:

Employer will provide health insurance in the base compensation and provide family coverage as part of the bonus.

My issue is this. The employer did not provide me with health insurance. For what ever reason they did not. They reimbursed me for my COBRA payment, but not my families portion. THe problem is I had to pay an extremely high COBRA payment for my family due to my employer not providing me health coverage. If they had provided me coverage, it would have been affordable

Would a judge see this as breach of contract?

thanks in advance

It would seem so yes--ask the employer to explain, in writing.
