Copy as parenthetical citation

A. An employer is authorized to make a payroll deduction from the compensation of an employee for the portion of the pool policy premium the employee is responsible for, and an employer shall contribute the same dollar amount of the cost of that policy on behalf of the employee that the employer contributes for other similar employees for health insurance.

B. An employer shall offer and make available to dependent family members of an employee covered by the pool the same group plan offered to other employees of the group. The employer shall charge a dependent family member a premium equal to that amount charged to other employees and shall contribute the difference between the amount the employer would pay for the employee under its group family coverage and the amount the employer has paid to the pool on behalf of the employee pursuant to Subsection A of this section. In no event shall an employer be required to pay more for a family with the employee being a high risk than for a standard family in the employer's group plan.

History: 1978 Comp., § 59A-54-15, enacted by Laws 1987, ch. 154, § 15.
