When I signed up for corporate health insurance benefits last year, the process required that I provide proof of vaccination against covid 19 in order to avoid an additional surcharge being taken out of each paycheck, which I did. However, since the beginning of this year, my employer has been taking the surcharge for not being vaccinate out of my paychecks despite the fact that I was vaccinated and provided proof of that status. I have stopped the surcharge from being deducted from future paychecks, but, the way that I see it, my employer owes me money for each surcharge that they wrongfully deducted from my paycheck, but I find that I am having some difficulty in actually getting them to return those funds. I want to know what my legal options are. Can I file a claim in small claims court for the amount I am owed? Or do I have to file a full blown lawsuit against my employer? Any info would be appreciated.
