Eligible Employees that can be covered on a Group Health Insurance Plan
Full Time Employees
To qualify as a full time employee, the employee must be working at least 30 hours a week on a permanent basis. Also, the full time employee must be paid for that work by the employer and subject to tax withholding ( i.e. a W-2 form).
Part-Time Employees
A part time employee is any person working a permanent, part time position and must be paid a wage for that work by the employer and subject to tax withholding ( i.e. a W-2 form). Part time employees must work at least 20 hours per week but not more than 29 hours per week. An employer does not have to automatically include part time employees in the group health insurance policy but could be added later at the employer’s discretion. If the employer does offer to cover the part time employees, all part-time employees are eligible for coverage.
Corporate officers - Sole Proprietors - Partners
To be eligible for coverage on the group health insurance plan, corporate officers, sole proprietors, and partners must put in at least 20 hours of work per week.

Having a group health insurance plan for your company keeps your employees happy. Business owners are continually dealing with employee turnover. A business with a group California health insurance is more likely to hold on to good employees than a business without health insurance coverage. I’m sure you’ve heard of the golden handcuffs. A covered employee is less likely to be lured away by another company if they have a California health insurance policy through your company.
