Employer - Employee Group Benefits unlocking the tax free dollars within your plan.
Many employers today
cannot make significant increases in wages, as the increases
are taxed @ the employee's marginal
tax rates. therefore the after tax income of the employee
is negligible. Employers can provide their employees with additional tax
free benefits which would benefit the employee, so that he is not
spending after tax dollars, to purchase such services.
Below are benefits which
are available to almost any size of employer, as group benefits are now
available for groups of 1+. We offer a wide range of Group Life and Health
services including the core services of Life Insurance, Disability
Insurance, Extended Health and Dental Care benefits that will give your
employees an incentive to join and remain with your company.

$1,000 of wage increase vs $1,000 of Group Benefits per employee.
