I work for a large Publicly Held company that owns 4 different division. I just recently transfered from one division to another division. What I found out was that my portion of my premium for my insurance will rise by 3x's the amount. When I questioned the President of this division of why my portion of my premium will rise she said that she does not pay for dependent coverage like the corporate office. My question is ... is it legal to have the same corporate company offering different employee contribution from one division to the other. YES it is the same insurance for all divisions. The corporate office and all of the other divisions pay $30.40 biweekly for employee/dependent coverage. This division charges $93.25 bi-weekly for employee/dependent coverage for the same insurance. It seems to be an unfair situation not just for me but for the other employees of this division. So my question is ... is it legal?
If you are a division of a large corporation is it ilegal to make one division have their employees pay for more of their health/life/dental coverage than another division?
