Benefits are the heart of cost and employee retention issues. Traditional
medical plans can be expensive. Health benefit costs continue to rise
year-after-year, often in the double digit percentage range. That's why
companies - especially those with large numbers of hourly paid employees -
often don't offer benefits to their employees. While benefits are important to
employees, the wrong plan can be expensive and create ill will. In those cases,
nobody wins.
To extend more affordable coverage to uncovered employees and their families
and to help address the cost concerns for companies, a package of health,
dental, life and disability benefit options are available.
