An employer in Texas that has 50 or fewer employees, must offer health insurance to all employees. If the employer has more than 50 employees, he can offer health insurance to a "class" of employees and not another. For example; the employer may offer health insurance to all employees classified as management, and not offer insurance to employees in other classifications.

Can your employer's health insurance require your husband to take his employer's health insurance if his is not free and not as good as yours?

My employer requires that my husband participate in his company's health insurance or they will drop him from their insurance. Insurance is a choice offered as a benefit by the employer because the employer is paying a portion of the cost to be insured. You do not have to participate if you don't want to. Also, the question being answered is that can an employer force an employee's spouse to take coverage offered elsewhere: NO. If a company offers a family health plan, they CANNOT specify that a spouse take other insurance if available. They CAN require that if you are declining coverage from them (your own employer), that you show you have coverage elsewhere.

Can an employer force an employee to take a physical?

noooooooooooooooAnother answer: In this state there may be a contract provision. An employer can require all potential employees to take a physical. School boards require all employees to pass a physical examination once a year. Employers may require employees to obtain a doctor's approval to return to work after three days of sick leave. The same rule would have to apply to all employees.
