#2,730 - Dolton employees without life insurance after premiums go unpaid; Henyard skips meeting

Dolton trustees learned Monday that village employees have been without life insurance since the summer, and they promised to restore coverage. The news caught trustees by surprise at their meeting while voting to renew health insurance coverage, whose the cost has increased. Life insurance for more than 100 employees ended last August because premiums hadn’t been paid, trustees were told. A representative for the village’s employee insurance consultant said messages about the termination of life insurance had been relayed to village administration, including Mayor Tiffany Henyard.
