The sentence is "This form will ask in which health plan the employee wants to sign up for."
I know I shouldn't end the sentence with "for". But this doesn't sound right either: "This form will ask in which health plan the employee wants to enroll."

This form asks each employee to specify which health plan he/she prefers.

This form provides a a choice in health plans for each employee.

Please select the health plan of your choice on this form.

Actually neither are correct. The form will ask... So what, the form does not feel like asking at the present moment? The form doesn't change, therefore remove will.

Also, never end your sentences with a preposition.

Try this:

The form asks which health plans the employees want to enroll.

However, this is much better.

The form allows each employee to choose a desired health plan.

Remember that each employee get their own health plan, so be careful of subject/possesion agreement.

"This form allows employees to choose a health plan" is incorrect because you are saying employees are choosing one health plan together.

There's nothing inherently wrong in ending a sentence with "for". It's an old-fashioned idea that you shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition, and if you want to do it, go for it.
The reason your sentence doesn't feel right to you is that you have got "in" and "for" in the same sentence. The employee wants to "sign up for a health plan", or "into a health plan", not "for in a health plan".
"This form will ask which health plan the employee wants to sign up for" is fine.

Do you mean "This form will ask the employee about the health plan for which he wants to sign up."? For the second sentence, you might say "This form will ask the employee about the health plan in which he wants to enroll." (This sentence is less cumbersome than the former sentence.). The problem with both sentences is that the relative clauses are not clearly associated with the direct objects.

"This form will ask in which health plan the employee wants to enroll." is just fine.

OTOH, you could say "This form allows employees to choose a health plan."

As employee you can sign up, by using this form to pick which health plan is best for you and your family.

I think its good what you have. Don't worry maybe add in family. You will be fine. Good luck :)
