Health Insurance and FMLA

942831

Here's the issue. A husband and wife both for our agency. The husband carries the health insurance in his name. He is off on FMLA and leave of absence. Can we require his wife to assume payment of the health insurance premium?

Thank you.

No. Imagine if his wife didn't work for your company, would you still make her responsible for paying the insurance premium?

Follow the laws of the FMLA on how to collect premiums from employees out on leave.
