Employer Compliance FAQ's
What are voluntary benefits?
Voluntary benefits are optional insurance plans employees can choose to buy through their employer, such as accident, critical illness, or supplemental life insurance.
Does my company have to pay the cost?
No. Employees pay the premiums through payroll deductions, so there’s typically no additional cost to the company.
Can I customize which voluntary benefits are offered?
Absolutely! We help employers select a package that fits your workforce’s needs and budget.
When can I enroll or make changes to my voluntary benefits?
Enrollment usually happens during your company’s benefits open enrollment period. Certain life events like marriage or birth of a child may also allow changes.
What if I already have insurance coverage?
Voluntary benefits are designed to supplement your existing coverage, providing extra financial protection for unexpected situations.
