44.1. The employer of the members of a group referred to in section 16 and formed on the basis of employment status must deduct the premium or assessment pertaining to the basic plan coverage stipulated in a group insurance contract or employee benefit plan to be paid by each employee concerned from the employee’s remuneration, and remit the deducted sums to the insurer or plan administrator.

However, an employee who submits proof of status as the beneficiary of coverage at least equivalent to the basic plan coverage under another group insurance contract or employee benefit plan is exempted from the deduction of the premium or assessment, except if membership under the employer’s contract or plan is a condition of employment.
