Yes, it can make the employee pay for (or provide) insurance. Employers are free to put *any* terms, conditions, or requirements they choose on employment. Such terms or conditions may include providing tools, a vehicle, or insurance, or paying for same. The employee should speak with a tax preparer: possibly he can get some tax benefit from the expenditure.
