Cobra paid by new employer

[ILLMAS]

Greeting, I have a NFP client, and just recently I notice that the executive director cobra payment is being paid by the agency? I want to ask the question here first before asking the exec. director, shouldn't he have to pay it out his pocket or take the health insurance offered by the agency? Also, since the angency is paying for an employee cobra, should that be part of his compensation too?

Thanks
