Workers comp and medical insurance

[txls]

An employee is out on Worker's Comp, there is no paycheck to deduct the employee's portion of medical. Do we have to maintain the medical and try to recoup when he returns?

Texas is kind of weird when it comes to workers comp. Does FMLA also apply?

Thank you and yes FMLA applies, so that answers my question. I was having a brain freeze yesterday.
