What is the name of your state?Wisconsin
I have worked for my current employer for over seven years. I was enrolled in our group medical plan for the first 3 years. For the past four years, I have been enrolled in my wife's medical plan. My wife has accepted a part time position elsewhere and I have asked my employer to be reinstated in the company plan. He said I could but I would have to pay the full premium cost for the family plan. I am a manager. I have asked the other managers and employees what they contribute to the company family plan. All of them state that they pay about $1000/yr. I am expected to pay about $9000. The company included $125/mo in my salary when I was not on the company plan. From reading other postings, it would seem the employer can pretty much do what they want when it comes to discriminating the fringe benefits they pay employee to employee within the same company. I am currently pursuing other employment opportunities but just wanted to inquire.
