No (he or she) does not. The employer doesn't have to pay any of it at all. If it is offered, it is an incentive to attract the best employees.
yes
Under the new health care act, all employers are required to offer health insurance to their full time employees. If the employees are not full time and do not qualify to be covered under their employer's policy, they must seek another form of insurance.
No. Federal Law (ERISA) does not require that health benefits are offered at all. They can make those restrictions if they want to.
The employer is obligated to follow its own written policy about employees out on short-term disability leave. The employer cannot, for example, pay for the president's health insurance when she is out on STD leave and then not pay for the entry-level clerk's health insurance when he is out on STD leave. If the employer does not have a written policy, then all employees who take a disability leave should be treated the same.
The OWNER can do as he wishes - he is never an employee. The sole EMPLOYEE, a non-owner, must be paid for all work. The employer has no choice. If the employer cannot afford wages, it must have no employees.
At many jobs, it is expected that someone from human resources (or some other representative of the company where you work, such as a supervisor) will give you all of the information about the benefits the company offers. For example, when an employee joins a company, that employee has no idea what will be provided in addition to a salary. So, if the employer provides health insurance, the employee will be given a packet of information about what the company pays for and what the employee is expected to pay. The employee will also be told what the procedures are for getting some of the benefits (perhaps the company offers membership in a health club, or discounts at certain pharmacies). So, your supervisor's purpose is to make sure you know your company's benefits, so you can make informed decisions about your health care.
Patient information is a very important part in Health care system. Employer is the primary responsible for providing training to all employee who deals with patient information. Legally all the medical office should provide their patient with HIPPA notice.
If it is a communicable disease problem, yes. but it is also the employer's responsibility to have a potential employee screened for health problems that may affect co-workers. There have been legal fights over this and , for the most part, the plaintiff employees have lost. If the employee has a health problem he or she is obligated to report that there is a problem, but not the name of the disease or even some symptoms. This is all part of our nation's health and safety regulations. No one has the right to spread a disease.
Yes, in certain situations. For example, 1) If you are no longer considered an "Eligible Employee" - (ie. you no longer work enough hours to be considered full-time); 2) If your employer discontinues the plan for all employee's. Note: Any involuntary loss of coverage may be a COBRA or HIPAA event.
You remind the employer that it can fire whoever it wants, but has noi choice about paying for all hours worked.

The health care plans that a company offers its employees can be varied with several price points in order to give every employee the ability to afford health care benefits. Health care plans are typically distinguishable by price because health care plans have different coverages and offer different levels of care. Obviously, a health care plan that covers virtually all medical procedures will cost more than a plan that covers simply preventative care. Another distinguishing factor is the deductible. Typically, the lower the deductible the higher the premium. If an employee seeks to keep their premiums low then they may have to choose a plan with a higher deductible.
