I understood from previous employment under a P.C. what benefits you offer are to be offered to all employees. In our employee manual it states health insurance is no longer offered to employees nor is pension plan. The PA supposedly is to follow the employee manual. The wife of the PA is now employed with the Dr. and they are given a family plan health insurance while the other two of are not offered any health insurance. Is this allowed when you are a P.C.???
As a general matter, an employer who offers a tax-qualified plan to employees needs to offer them on a non-discriminatory basis. However, there are many exceptions to covering all employees. For example, certain kinds of plans need ony be offered to employees of a particular class. Also, an employer may reimburse any employee for the cost of the employee's own personal plan. The exposure is to the employer for the possible loss of the tax deduction for premiums paid for a plan that turns out not to be tax-qualified. An employee who is not covered will generally not have the right to insist that he or she be covered.
