Unfair Health Insurance

[tuffcherokee]

Petersburg, Virginia
Can an employer pay for full insurance benefits for someone because he feels sorry for them or because the employee says he can't afford it, when the employer is only paying half of other employees? And for some he is paying full premiums for the employee and their family and some he is only paying half of employee and none of the family premiums. Can he do that?

The law doesn't care about fair; the law only cares about legal. There is nothing in the law prohibiting an employer from providing an extra benefit to some employees but not others as long as it is not based in a characteristic protected by law.
