Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
Background: We are a small company. We currently have 3 full time employees. Two of those are the owners of the company and have higher salaries. 1 Just started January 1 and is considered very valuable management but has a lower salary because they are straight out of college, though they have worked for us part time for several years. Currently the 2 owner are on the company health insurance plan and it is paid 100% by the company. The other full time employee is still young enough to be on their parent's insurance plan.
Problem: We are higher an hourly phone support person. Our policy with Aetna says that we are too small to draw a Management/Hourly distinction for health benefits. The problem is that this person is simply not valuable enough to justify paying 100% of the health insurance costs as we do for the 2 owners. The new person is willing to purchase an individual policy if we raise the pay by $1/hour. Does it violate any labor laws for us to offer her a different salary based on whether or not she will sign an agreement saying that she will forego being on the company health insurance plan?

No. Employees are given additional money to purchase individual policies on a regular basis.
