Q TLC also has a flexible spending plan.
Correct?
A Yes.
Q And, again, some of the drivers participate and
some do not.
A Correct.
Q And the drivers who participate pay for that
themselves through payroll withholding. Correct?
A Correct.
Q And TLC also offers health insurance to the
drivers. Correct?
A Yes.
Q Now, in some instances, drivers pay for that
health insurance solely through payroll deductions.
Correct?
A I believe that the trucking company had a
participation level that they had to pay for.
Q So your understanding is that as to health
insurance, there was participation by the trucking
companies in all cases or just some?
A Some.
The parties’ stipulation of facts provided in pertinent
part:
The cost of the $5,000 group term life insurance policy

administering the other * * * [employee benefits], but
these administrative costs did not contribute to the
direct costs of the benefits. In most cases, the
direct costs of the benefits were funded entirely by
the Drivers through payroll deductions. However, some
Trucking Companies did contribute to the cost of the
Drivers’ health insurance. * * *
