Payroll deduction for hosp. ins.

suuzie · November 2004

Are we discriminating against some of our employees by doing the following:

Full time employees have one payroll deduction from their paycheck per month to cover dependents hospitalization insurance. We do not allow them to split the deduction over two paychecks per month.

Part time employees however can have the deduction split up in two payments per month due to the fact that they sometimes do not work enough hours to cover a one time deduction.

Clear as mud? I am wondering if we should change our policy on this.

I split everyone's deductions into two payments per month whether they are full or part time. I just find it makes the bookkeeping easier. Is there a reason you need to take the enire deduction from one check?

I believe it is something that our accounting department dictated that we should do. It seems to me splitting it up would be better for the employee.
