Safelite Charging Employees Extra Fees for Healthcare
Did Safelite charge you extra fees (or "surcharges") for your healthcare or insurance premium? If so, you might be eligible for significant compensation. An investigation is ongoing into weather Safelite has been improperly charging employees fees on their health insurance policies for smoking or vaping. The various types of surcharges companies may have charged you for include:• Nicotine
• Wellness
• Vaccines
• Other Fees
• Spousal surcharges of around $50-$100 per month have been reported in cases where an employee's spouse has access to coverage through their own employer but chooses to enroll in the employee's plan instead. For example, one employer mentioned implementing a $50 per paycheck surcharge for non-working spouses. Safe;ote may have also been charging employees a similar paycheck surcharge for employees who smoke or vape nicotine.
• Tobacco use surcharges are common, with employers charging smokers higher premiums. Surcharges of $50-$100 per month have been typical.
• Some employers have implemented surcharges of $50-$100 per month for employees who do not complete certain wellness activities, like getting an annual physical.
