QUESTION
Can my employer not pay me because I didn't deny or accept their insurance?
Asked on Aug 23rd, 2016 on Labor and Employment - North Carolina
More details to this question:
I was never given a form to accept or deny my employers insurance, and they are threatening to not pay me on this Thursday if I don't drive an hour to work on my day off to sign the denial/acceptance form. Is it illegal not to pay me because of that? Is it illegal to make such threats?

It is not illegal to make such threats, but it would be unlawful to not pay you for time you worked. They can, however, terminate you if do not show up to sign the denial/acceptance form as they have demanded.
