Legal Question in Insurance Law in Virginia

health care deduction

My husband started a job 11/07 with the benefit of paid health insurance. This past paycheck, he had a health ins. deduction of $411.00. When he questioned payroll, he was told that he had owed past due insurance of over $4000.00 and that the employer was told to deduct this amount weekly until paid in full. He was given no notification of this, and us hurt us financially. This is a small construction company with under 100 employees. When he questioned his boss,he said he would just look into it with no definitive answer. Can they do this?
