Is our small company required to continue health insurance benefits for an employee on PDL?
HRCalifornia
Yes. An employer who currently pays for health insurance under a group health plan (medical, dental, vision) must continue to maintain an eligible employee’s coverage under the plan as if the employee had not taken pregnancy disability leave.
This law applies to all employers with five or more employees.
