Whether waitresses (and other restaurant employees) get health insurance coverage from the restaurant they work for depends on various factors, including the size of the restaurant, the state or region in which it operates, and the specific policies of the restaurant. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), restaurants with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees are required to provide health insurance to their employees. However, smaller restaurants are not required to provide health insurance coverage. Some states and regions also have their own requirements for employer-provided health insurance, which may apply to restaurants. Even if a restaurant is not required to provide health insurance coverage, some may choose to offer it as a benefit to their employees. However, the specific policies may vary depending on the restaurant. Some may offer coverage to full-time employees only, while others may offer it to part-time employees as well. It's important to note that even if a restaurant offers health insurance coverage, the employee may still be responsible for a portion of the premium. Additionally, the coverage may have limits and exclusions, so it's important to carefully review the policy to understand what is covered. Overall, whether or not waitresses (and other restaurant employees) get health insurance coverage from the restaurant they work for depends on several factors. It's important to review the specific policies of the restaurant and any state or federal requirements to determine if coverage is available.
