I need to know according to Texas law, who, as employees, must be offered insurance. I have people who are employed full time, working 30+ hrs per week, and are not being offered insurance. My boss thinks that since their hiring premise was without insurance that he does not have to offer it to them. He says if he has to offer them insurance, he will terminate them and rehire them at a lower salary. Another solution he says is to make those who do not have insurance pay a portion of the premium, while the rest of us have ours paid by the company. I believe there are three solutions: offer them the insurance with premium paid by the employer; make EVERYONE pay a portion of the premium, or make EVERYONE get insurance on their own and raise their salaries to afford it. I need to know the Texas Laws, if any, that apply to who does and does not get insurance. Is it determined by the State or by the insurance company? If by the State, where can I find these guidelines as to who is eligible for coverage? Isn't what we're already doing a law suit waiting to happen?
