Hi everyone! It's been a long time and I had to go searching to find out where everyone landed. I'm a former HR Guru from the old AHI site, but I would use the term "guru" loosely since HR is not my main job.
So, here's my question...the company I work for has been paying 100% of the group health insurance premiums for all full-time employees and their dependents. As more and more of our twentysomethings are getting married, the company wants to look at having new hires pay 25% of the amount over the single rate to cover their dependents. However, they would like it to only apply to hew hires going forward and not the current employees. All current employees would continue to have their health insurance premiums fully paid. Are we on safe legal ground to make this new policy? I've tried googling this, but only stuff related to Obamacare comes up.
Thanks, everyone, and glad to find you!
