A common employer question is what happens to an employee’s health insurance while they’re on leave.
Employer Responsibilities
- Employers must keep health insurance active while an employee is on CFRA, PDL, or FMLA leave.
- This ensures employees have access to postpartum care and pediatrician visits for their newborn.
- Employees may be required to continue paying their portion of health insurance premiums.
Failure to maintain coverage could result in compliance violations and legal risks for the employer.
