In our company, employees have part of their health and welfare contributions deducted directly from their pay check. How can we collect this money from them once they leave employment?
If your Company is a participating Employer in the Teamsters Health & Welfare Fund of Philadelphia and Vicinity, then employee contributions that are made via payroll deduction are not allowed. No employee contributions are allowed except as outlined under COBRA. If your Company is deducting a portion of the Health & Welfare premium from your employees pay, then this method is to be changed immediately. If you should have any questions about this issue, you should contact the Fund’s Audit Manager as quickly as possible.
