Law Firm Investigating
Tobacco Surcharge Claims
For Immediate Release / Advertising Material
May 3, 2024 – McClelland Law Firm is investigating claims against Republic Services for imposing additional health insurance premiums, fees, or surcharges on tobacco users. This may be an unlawful penalty for tobacco use; if so, employees are entitled to a reimbursement of the overcharges.
Employers may charge additional premiums for tobacco use, but only if they meet certain strict requirements. One requirement is that employers must give tobacco users a way to avoid the surcharge other than to simply "quit smoking."
If you worked for Republic Services and paid a tobacco surcharge, please Contact Us for more information.
