I am wondering if my employer should have been paying some of the cost of my medical coverage. $138.00 was taken out of my check every two weeks. I just heard that it was not legal, can anyone tell me where to look for this information? I live in California.

What you have to pay should be outlined in your benefits paperwork.

Wait a minute, did the employer offer to pay for health insurance or did he say that health insurance "is available" ?
No employer is obligated to pay for your health insurance. Neither are they obligated to even offer insurance to you. If you but health insurance through your employer, you can usually get a better rate than if you bought it yourself directly.
If the company has an HR department, call them and tell them that you do not understand. You may also want to talk to the person at the company who gave you the paperwork to fill out for the medical coverage.
I think this is a misunderstanding on your part. Sorry.

Yes it's legal. If you want more information you can go to the california government site and browse around for information about what they have to offer. I know a lot of employers don't offer much coverage or any at all.

there is no requirement to pay workers both. Employers ought to not reduce your pay to below minimum salary and ought to not reduce it because of your race, faith, gender, etc. they'd reduce it for the different reason, so long because it continues to be at or above minimum salary. they'd positioned back the earnings of a few workers without elevating your earnings if the clarification being your race, faith, gender, etc. they'd positioned back the earnings of a few workers without putting back your earnings no matter if it really is for the different reason. Employers are literally not required to be honest. in the experience that they favor, they may even assign workers diverse expenses of pay with the help of rolling a dice to make your ideas up on their salaries, because this technique is random and promises anybody race, faith, gender, etc., an benefit over yet another. relying on the fashion of well being coverage plan, they could be getting a tax ruin that's in common words criminal if the employer covers an same quantity for all workers who meet the criteria set with the help of the employer. If the employer has chosen to disguise it in finished for different workers and in common words 0.5 for you, even although you meet an same criteria set with the help of the employer because the employees do, and the IRS learns of this, then the employer and the different workers would ought to pay extra tax money to the authorities. to ward off paying this tax, the employer would come to a call to disguise your well being coverage in finished, yet on condition that what you're promoting business enterprise needs to make this decision. also, no matter if what you're promoting business enterprise replaced into compelled to disguise your well being coverage in finished to ward off dropping the tax ruin, what you're promoting business enterprise ought to easily reduce your pay with the help of an quantity equivalent to the cost of the well being coverage, in case your pay remained more advantageous than minimum salary and the clarification replaced into not your race, faith, gender, etc. one extra element. You said that the employer's causes had some thing to do with you being 29. Employers have the right to attend to an employer worse than different employers if the clarification being the worker's age and the worker is less than 40. Age isn't between the prohibited causes till the worker is over 40.

Yes it's legal. I just took an HR class on this. Nowhere does it say that your employer has to cover any of your health insurance.

You are lucky that they offer it to you. $138 every two weeks is not a bad price. I was once paying $103 every week.
Like you said they offered it to you. You do not have to take it. You can always look on-line for insurances if you would like to independently buy it if you would like.
