Group Benefits
Group benefit plans allow employees to receive forms of insurance that they otherwise may not have access to. They are available for any size of group, and are generally uniform in nature, offering the same benefits to all employees or members of the group. However, the plan can be customized to give differing benefits based on the designated employee classes.
A well-designed group benefits package can help to make your business more competitive, recruit and retain top talent, and boost employee satisfaction.

Are there tax savings?
- If the employer pays the premium for the group benefits plan, the premium is tax deductible as a business expense. Therefore, the employer is reducing the business’ taxable income, while simultaneously helping her or her employees.
- Depending on the type of benefits provided, there may also be taxable benefits to the employee.
