Success Kit - Benefits

Employee benefits typically refer to health care insurance, retirement plans, life insurance, disability insurance, vacation, holiday pay, employee discount programs, etc.  Benefits and compensation form the bulk of the total rewards offered to employees in exchange for work contributions.  Certain benefits such as unemployment and worker’s compensation insurance are federally mandated.  Some states also mandate other benefits such as disability insurance and time away from work. 

Benefits are increasingly expensive for businesses, so an understanding of the cost/benefit relationship of your benefits program is critical for business leaders.
