Employee Benefits

Components of an Employee Benefits program

Employee benefits are non-wage forms of compensation and perks that employers offer to their employees in addition to their regular salaries or wages. These benefits are designed to attract and retain talented employees, enhance job satisfaction, and improve overall employee well-being.

Employee benefits can vary widely and may include both mandatory and optional offerings. Examples of mandatory offerings include Workers' Compensation Insurance and unemployment insurance. Examples of optional offerings include health insurance and retirement programs.

Our benefits team can help with many important benefits, such as:

  • Health Insurance: Coverage for medical, dental, and vision care to help employees manage their healthcare costs.
  • Life Insurance: Coverage that provides financial support to an employee's beneficiaries in the event of their death.
  • Disability Insurance: Coverage that provides income replacement if an employee becomes disabled and unable to work.
  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs): Tax-advantaged accounts that allow employees to set aside pre-tax funds for eligible medical expenses and child-care expenses.
  • Wellness Programs: Initiatives aimed at promoting employees' physical and mental well-being, such as gym memberships, wellness challenges, and counseling services.
Some employee benefits may have tax implications for both the employer and the employee. Certain benefits, such as health insurance premiums and FSA/HSA funding, may be offered on a pre-tax basis stretching dollars much further. Offering employee benefits requires careful planning, budgeting, and administrative management. Employers need to consider the costs, compliance with regulations, and communication to employees about available benefits. Some of our clients find it beneficial to use our Employee Benefits Portal to assist with communication to employees about available benefits and streamline enrollment.
