EMPLOYEE BENEFIT COVERAGE

Basic Group Term Life Plan

You can help make benefits available to your employees based on benefit options you set such as a multiple of earnings, occupation, years of service, or some combination of those factors.

Supplemental Group Term Life

At no cost to you, Supplemental Group Life allows your employees to purchase additional life insurance coverage with the convenience of payroll deduction. The plan features a low minimum participation requirement.

Accidental Death and Dismemberment

This coverage provides your employees with additional limited benefits in case of death - or loss of limb or eyesight - due to an accident.

Dependent Group Term Life

Your employees may purchase limited coverage for their spouse and children.

Group Dental Insurance

For groups of five or more employees, cost-effective dental plans are available which combine managed care with freedom of choice. Plans can cover only preventative and basic services or comprehensive dental care.

Medical Insurance

Medical care benefits cover expenses related to hospital, surgical and physician services provided to an employee and eligible dependents. You can tailor a medical program to meet the needs of your employees by choosing from a wide range of plans with optional deductibles and copayment amounts.

Short Term Disability

Paying a disabled employee's salary while simultaneously funding replacement help can put you in a bind. Short term disability coverage provides a short term disability income benefit to help free your operating funds for more critical business needs.

Long Term Disability

Long term disability coverage helps protect disabled employees against loss of income and, as a result, helps you manage the substantial expense of prolonged disability leaves. Available to groups of 15 or more employees, the plan is structured to promote quicker returns to work by disabled employees. This long term disability plan contains a wide range of flexible features to help you meet your plan design and cost management goals. The partial disability benefit provides a financial incentive for employees on long-term or short-term disability to return to work on a part-time basis.

401(k) and SEP Retirement Plans

Plan for your retirement and give your employees the opportunity to secure their futures with a 401(k) and SEP retirement plan. Today's most popular retirement plan is a 401(k) plan. Our turnkey plan makes it easy for businesses to offer this valuable benefit to its employees. A SEP, or Simplified Employee Pension, combines the tax benefits and savings power of a retirement plan such as Profit Sharing or a 401(k) with the simplicity of an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Furthermore, a SEP can help you and your participating employees lessen your tax obligations while building retirement funds.

SEP-IRA

A SEP-IRA permits you to make tax-deductible contributions directly to IRAs owned by you and your employees. The contribution limits are identical to those of a qualified profit-sharing plan. While a SEP-IRA resembles other types of qualified retirement plans, it has one important advantage: simplicity. Qualified pension or profit-sharing plans are subject to extensive reporting and disclosure requirements with the Internal Revenue Service and The Department of Labor that can make set-up and administration time-consuming and costly. A SEP-IRA, on the other hand, is easy for you to set up and maintain.
