Can an employer require one group of employees to pay 50% of the cost of their health insurance, while picking up 100% of the cost for another group of employees?
As a general rule, the employer may do so. There could be contexts in which the action is unlawful, such as if the policy were implemented to favor one group over another based upon race, gender, sex, color, or religion, or if the group required to pay more was mostly or exclusively over the age of forty and the other group was comprised mostly or exclusively of younger workers.
