Can an employer take out insurance premiums without consent?

I have had insurance premiums taken out of my check every week without my permission. My company provides free health care (employees pay nothing for premiums) and when I signed up there was an option to put my fiancee on the policy as a domestic partner. So at the end of my enrollment it stated, and still states, that my weekly and annual costs are $0.00. But as I have stated they are taking $144 out of my check every week for my fiancees coverage. I never agreeded to this and there was no notification that I would have to pay this money. What kind of legal action can I take?
