Employment benefits law question?


If a company starts employment benefits for new hires, do they have to offer the same benefits to the existing employees. I know you can hire people at different salaries and under different employment contracts, but I know you can't discriminate with providing benefits. More specifically, the company has begun to pay flex-pay (a specified amount of money, $1k, per year that can be applied to any benefits such as health insurance or 401(k), etc). If they are hiring new people with this benefit, do they have to give the same benefit to people who already work there? There are no other stipulations attached to the benefit for the new hires, just being employed there.

Thanks.

The employees that have already been there get no benefits whatsoever, and no compensation for getting benefits on their own. They are getting paid their salary (which happens to be the same) but they are not receiving any flex-pay.

i don't know personally, but i would check the employee rights with OCEA or another government site. its a hard question to answer, considering employees arent supposed to discuss wages/benefits most of the time

seems liek that might be a seperate benefit in itself, they are still offering the previous employees the same benefits, just not mopney to pay for them, which could be considered part of their "salary"

so you arent offered health insurance or the 401K?

Maybe I am confused. At our company you can join in a flex spending account if you choose, but it comes out of your salary
