No employer is required to pay any benefits, but most benefits must be given to all
full time employees with the company for more than a couple of years. This is not a
matter of employment law -- employers can do what they want in PA -- but a matter
of tax law. Benefits paid in a discriminatory fashion (i.e. employees must be treated
equally) are included as income. This means that you can't pay certain benefits
only to people at the top and still treat them as tax exempt benefits. If your boss
gives himself benefits that he doesn't give you, he must treat them as
income.______________________________
