Based on the simple facts of the question, no, each company is a separate legal entity and may establish its own benefits, rules of employment, and other operating rules so long as such rules are consistent with applicable state,local, and federal laws.

As a Franchise Attorney I agree with the other attorney answers. Common ownership of corporations by an individual does not create an obligation to offer identical benefit packages. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
