My Company Delayed My Pay While I Was On An Loa Due To A Pto Issue, Now I Have To Pay Two Deductibles.

Location: Wisconsin

I took a two month LOA in order finish house repairs so I had somewhere to live this winter. The LOA was not paid, but I was able to use my PTO while I was off. I had my PTO dispersed in such a way that my insurance premiums would continue to automatically come out of my paycheck. The PTO was approved though the normal person and I had the emails to confirm them. I went on my leave. A week before I was to return I noticed my paychecks were not being deposited, but I waited until I returned to get things resolved. It turns out my PTO needed to be applied by a third party, not my normal scheduler. I got my money with the following paycheck. I didn't think anything of the premiums at that point. My wife had a procedure while I was on the leave and we got the bill after I got the paychecks figured out. It turns out since my premiums weren't met, the deductible reset and I am now having to pay a second deductible. I tried to explain everything, but the people services at my company say there is nothing that can be done because the sent me a letter warning me. I didn't see the letter in my mail, not that I expect anything important in my mail because all of my bills are paperless. Do I have any chance taking the company to small claims court for the cost of the second deductible?
