Small Business Employee Benefits Made Easy!

Small business employee benefits are managed much more effectively when the business owner has a basic working knowledge of the components that make the plan successful. This bog post lists those basic components.

1. Understand the purpose of the employee benefit plan – Usually the goal, at least the starting point goal, is to provide benefits that are tax-deductible as a business expense and tax-free to the employee. If not for this tax advantage, there would be little incentive for employers to be involved. Each employer has a unique and specific goal and so the employee benefit plan is designed to match that goal.
2. Understand what is not the purpose of an employee benefit plan – No longer do employers provide a ‘one size fits all’ and ‘take it or leave it’ benefit plan design. Today’s employee benefits are designed to extract and maximize the benefits and efficiencies of consumer-driven choices.
3. Communication – Good communication is the key to a successful employee benefit plan. All of the stakeholders – the employer

4. Documentation – Employer resolutions, Enrollment forms, Plan Documents and summary plan Descriptions are typically required. A non-attorney typically provides these sample documents but cannot provide legal advice. The employer is encouraged to seek independent legal advice on all business documents.
5. Claim accounting – Nowadays this is typically handled via secure portal, email or text message, at the option of the employee. The result is an approved claim report that is sent to payroll processing.
6. Payroll processing – Most employee benefit transactions between the employer and the employe are handled through a payroll processing service. Once the benefits accounts are set up properly within the payroll system, this process usually flows smoothly. Typically the payroll processor sends reports back to the employer for general accounting purposes.
7. Tax filings – some employee benefit plans require year-end filings either singularly or as a data inclusion on another form like a W2. Again
