Retirement Plans
A good retirement plan (401Ks, Profit Sharing plans, Defined Benefit plans, SEP, SIMPLE IRAs etc) can help you attract and retain top talent. A well-designed plan can take things further – it can help cut costs, minimize ERISA/DOL compliance costs while maximizing employee value. To create such a plan, we use a consultative approach that can help with:
- Plan Governance / Fiduciary Compliance
- Plan Design / Investment Advice
- Provider Benchmarking
Owner / Executive Benefits and Executive Compensation Plan can help a business compensate key employees and help retain many of these highly sought after employees.
Health Insurance
There is a lot of turmoil in the health insurance industry, including double-digit growth in premiums. Your options are usually based on shopping insurance plans among carriers – this is no longer your best solution. Most businesses can find a better solution for their employees and keep costs low by enhancing their health insurance benefits with a combination of plans below:
- Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)
- Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs)
- Medical Reimbursement Plans
- Return of Premium Plans
- Risk sharing
- Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs)
Group and Voluntary Benefits
Group disability and group life plans add peace-of-mind as they offer relief from unforeseen events. We provide advice on these types of plans without carrier bias and can help negotiate with the carrier.
- Group Disability Insurance –
- Short-Term Disability (STD) – Employers typically opt for a % replacement of income for STD which typically offers 6 months of coverage.
- Long-Term Disability (LTD) – Funds from STD benefits can run out before the employee can resume work, placing great stress on the employee’s finances. A well-designed LTD plan can help avoid this situation.
- Group Life Insurance – Life Insurance helps your employees and their families have financial security. An employer can choose to replace a % or specific amount of an employee’s income.
- Voluntary Benefits – A well designed voluntary benefits plan can greatly augment employee satisfaction and drive retention. Critical Illness
