Health ins. premiums and FMLA

942831

If both a husband and wife work for the same organization and the husband is off for unpaid FMLA and leave of absence, can his spouse be required to pick up the cost of the health insurance premiums? Thank you.

Why would you require the spouse to do this? (other than the obvious convenience of employing both of them.) The employee is the one who has the decision to make. Don't require the spouse to do anything, except report for work and do her job.
