Health insurance for part-time workers

by | April 4, 2006

Here’s a cool idea — the ability for employers to contribute to a health care program for their part-time workers. A new company, Dominium Healthcare Solutions, based in Olympia is allowing employers to contribute funds into a pool for part-time employees to use toward health insurance. Employees who work for multiple employers could get contributions from each of them and the amount in the fund would determine how much money the employee could use toward their insurance. In addition, because the plan is an individual plan, not a group health plan, the employee could keep the insurance even after leaving the employer. The article on Dominium was published in the print version of the Puget Sound Business Journal dated March 31 – April 6. I could not find a link to the article on their site.
