Voluntary Benefits

Voluntary Benefits

Richer benefits without a bigger budget

Voluntary benefits are optional, employee-paid coverage offered at group rates through payroll. They round out your package, fill the gaps your health plan leaves and give employees real choice, at little or no cost to the company.

Higher deductibles leaving gaps?

Fill the gaps

Accident, hospital and gap plans pay cash toward deductibles, copays and bills at home.

Losing candidates to bigger companies?

Compete for talent

Offer a package that stands next to larger employers without their price tag.

Every employee needs something different?

Let them choose

A new parent and someone near retirement can each pick what fits their life.

Budget already stretched?

Little or no cost to you

Employees pay through payroll at group rates. Many plans can be pre-tax.

A Real-Life Example

A broken ankle on a Saturday

An employee slips on the ice and ends up in the ER. Their health plan does its job, but after the deductible and coinsurance they still owe thousands.

With an accident plan, the employee gets cash for each part of the care, paid directly to them. They can use it on medical bills, groceries or the mortgage while they recover.

Illustration · Accident plan
Employee's share after the health plan$2,800
Accident plan pays the employee
Emergency room visit$150
X-rays$100
Fracture (ankle)$1,500
Crutches$100
Follow-up visits (2)$150
Physical therapy (6 visits)$300
Cash benefit to the employee$2,300
Left to cover$500

Hypothetical example for illustration only. Actual benefit amounts depend on the plan, carrier and coverage level chosen.

Questions

Voluntary benefits, answered

Usually little or nothing. Employees pay their own premiums through payroll deduction at group rates. Some employers choose to contribute toward certain plans, but it isn’t required.

No. Most companies start with a few of the most popular plans, like dental, vision and accident, and add more over time. We’ll help you pick a starting menu that fits your team.

Many voluntary plans are portable, so employees can often keep coverage if they change jobs or retire by paying the premium directly. Portability depends on the plan and carrier.

Some carriers require a minimum level of participation, which varies by plan. We’ll tell you up front what each option needs, so there are no surprises.

We do. Employees can call us for help with claims and questions all year, not just at enrollment.

Give your team more to choose from.

Tell us about your company and your people. We’ll recommend voluntary benefits that fit and show you what they’d cost employees. No obligation.

More on Voluntary Benefits

Voluntary benefits are optional. While they can be partially funded by the employer, typically they are fully employee-paid benefits offered by employers at a group rate, allowing employees to supplement their core benefits at very affordable rates, when compared to buying them individually.

Employees pay for these plans through payroll deductions and can tailor their coverage to fit their specific needs and budget.

Here’s how Voluntary Benefits work:
  1. Employer Offers: Your employer provides access to a selection of voluntary benefit plans, which are often products or services that fill gaps in a typical benefits package.
  2. Employee Chooses: During open enrollment or other qualifying events, you choose which voluntary benefits you want to enroll in.
  3. Payroll Deduction: The cost of the selected benefits is deducted directly from your paycheck.
  4. Portable: Most voluntary benefit plans are portable, meaning you can take the coverage with you if you change employers or retire.
