I think C is better because:
for passing on the bulk of these costs to their employees through assigning bigger contributions for workers in top salary brackets but offering some relief to worker
it should have 'but' here as the 2 bold ones above have contradicting meaning.

it boils down to C n D :
1st Split : employers are adopting a tiered system..........,,,, WHY are they adopting ? They must be having some rationale/intent :INTENT , INFINITIVES rush in 2 fill the vaccum
TO outweighs FOR
2nd split : How are they going to pass on these costs ?
By X.........AND.........Y ( X n Y should be Parallel )
X : Assigning , Y : Offering
D : by assigning bigger contributions to workers..............AND............. offering some relief to workers (Parallelism Intact )
Thus Infinitive n Parallelism allows to zone in on D ; my take.

B. to pass on the bulk of these costs to its employees by assigning bigger contributions to workers in top salary brackets and by offering some relief to workers
C. for passing on the bulk of these costs to their employees through assigning bigger contributions for workers in top salary brackets but offering some relief to workers
D. to pass on the bulk of these costs to their employees by assigning bigger contributions to workers in top salary brackets and offering some relief to workers
E. to pass on the bulk of this costs to their employees by assigning bigger contributions to workers in top salary brackets and by offering some relief to workers Between C and D, I would say D is the answer. In C, for passing on sounds unidiomatic. More importantly, employers want to pass on the bulk of the health care costs to all employees, whether they earn high or low salaries. The contrast brought about by the use of but, I think is incorrect.

it should have 'but' here as the 2 bold ones above have contradicting meaning. "for passing" on the bulk of these costs to their employees through assigning bigger contributions "for workers" in top salary brackets but offering some relief "to workers""for passing" and "for workers" are unidiomatic. "to workers" is correct. (for reasons well explained by skmskm)
