Different level of employee contribution for HDHPs?

[Guest Tucker]

Is it legal to require different employee contributions for different health plan options?

Ex. Employer has 2 different plans which are available to all employees. If the employee choses the basic plan, then the employee's actual contribution is 10% of the premium cost to the employer. If the employee chooses the HDHP, then the employee is responsible for 20% of the cost to the employer.

Is there a problem with this?

Why would there be a problem? HDHP's shouldn't be treated any differently as any other scenario dealing with multiple health plans.
