Is the company required to contribute to the employee's benefits?
Yes. All group health insurance plans require the employer to pay for a portion of each employee's monthly premium. This is one of the defining characteristics of group health insurance. Some plans may also require the employer to pay a portion of the premium for an employee's dependents. However, even when an employer is not required to cover a portion of the premium for an employee's dependents, you may opt to do so. Each insurance company has a minimum amount that the employer must contribute. In most cases, the employer must contribute at least 50% of the employee's monthly premium. Some employers opt to cover a higher amount. By default, our web site will provide you with the minimum contribution level required by the group health insurance plan that you've chosen.
