Re: employer paid medical
The law requires an employer to give its employees "reasonable notice" before it changes policies. The courts have yet to define "reasonable notice" with any precision, however.
In the area of compensation, and likely benefits, an employer can change its practices prospectively (in the future), but it must notify you so that you have an opportunity to stop working if you choose to. If you continue working, it is presumed that you implicitly agreed to the new compensation paid by the employer.
