After trying to mollify(平息)its critics in recent years by offering better health care benefits to its employees, Wal-Mart is substantially rolling back coverage for part-time workers and significantly raising premiums(保险费)for many full-time staff. Citing rising costs, Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest private employer, told its employees this week that all future part-time employees who work less than 24 hours a week on average will no longer qualify for any of the company’s health insurance plans. In addition, any new employees who average 24 hours to 33 hours a week will no longer be able to include a spouse as part of their health care plan, although children can still be covered.
This is a big shift from just a few years ago when Wal-Mart expanded coverage for employees and their families after facing criticism because so many of its 1.4 million workers could not afford or did not qualify for coverage—rendering many of them eligible for Medicaid(医疗补助). Under pressure from states saddled with rising Medicaid costs and from labor unions and community groups, Wal-Mart had agreed to offer part-time employees, even those averaging less than 24 hours a week, health care insurance after a year on the job, shaving a year off the eligibility requirement. Wal-Mart also said that it was offering health plans that cost its employees about $ 250 a year for family coverage.
At the time, the moves were considered a departure from some of its major rivals and large employers, more than half of whom offer no company-sponsored health plan for part-time workers. On Thursday, the company would not say what percentage of its work force was part-time or worked fewer than 24 hours a week. Greg Rossiter, a Wal-Mart spokesman, said the decision to deny coverage to new part-time employees resulted from the company’s revamping(修改)of its health care offerings in light of rising costs.
Questions:
Part-time employees working less than 24 hours a week will be______.
选项
答案
unqualified for the company’s health insuranceplans
解析
由题干中的Part-time employees,lessthan 24 hours a week定位到第一段第二旬。该句指出,这周,沃尔玛对雇员说未来所有聘用的兼职员工,如果平均每周工作少于24小时就没有资格纳入公司的任何一项健康保险计划。
