[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 5028439, member: 5202"] Businesses typically cover a large portion of an employee's health care each month. As much as we lose each paycheck, the employer loses more. If they fire you on Jan 1st, they still have to pay for January and are out that money. If they fired you in December, they will only be required to have covered you thru the rest of that month. Keeps extra people off of quarterly reports and such as well, simpler bookkeeping. Why have 50 full time people who list thru an entire quarter plus 5 other people you first the first week of the month when you could have had them off the records the month before. People always want to get on companies for doing these things at the holidays, but not everyone celebrates those holidays. I'm not in favor of people losing their jobs and not really trying to defend companies doing it, but it's going to happen at some point in the year, if they feel it needs done. They will have a better idea of how their books are looking than we do and know when they need to take the actions. Piratecat probably has the right of it. Look at things in the fall, take action in the winter.... [/QUOTE]
