Burgerville covers 95% of employees' health-insurance premium

OregonLive: Only about a fifth of the eligible workers at Burgerville restaurants signed up for the company's group health-insurance plan last year. Costing $100 a month, and imposing a $200 deductible before it would pay any medical bills, the plan was too expensive for workers starting at minimum wage.

 

Therefore in January, the restaurant chain made budgetary trade-offs to offer a plan that costs employees $15 a month and has no deductible. The company covers 95 percent of the premium.
