The employer must establish a waiting period for new employees. The minimum waiting period is 30 days. The maximum waiting period is 180 days. The waiting period must be the same for all employees of a small employer. At the time a small employer first obtains coverage through the alliance, the small employer, at its discretion, may elect to waive the waiting period for all employees who are otherwise then eligible for and enrolling in the plan.
