If an employer offers insurance benefits to the employee, can they exclude dependents?

Question by : If an employer offers insurance benefits to the employee, can they exclude dependents?
Can they choose to only cover the employee? If so are they allowed to pick and choose whose dependents can be covered? Like one employee’s child is covered, but the other employees aren’t allowed to get insurance for their dependents, is that legal?

Best answer:

Answer by Pobept K
Yes, normally, covering dependents cost extra if you can get that coverage at all.
Who they wish to cover and under what conditions is a business decision, not a legal matter. Good luck

they can cover just employees but the coverage needs to be the same if the employees are at the same level (both cashiers) not if they are different levels (cashier and manager)
