Job Benefits

There are many types of benefits employers offer employees. As you prepare to select a career, these benefits may be a critical aspect of your choice.

For example, medical benefits may be a primary reason to take a specific position. But the conditions of employment may include a waiting period for coverage. There may also be an exclusion for prior medical conditions. Lastly, the plan for one company may not allow for other family members to be insured. All factors that are important to you need to be investigated even before the interview for the job. Why waste time working to get a job with a company that does not have the medical benefit you need?

Discounts to employees may be of particular interest. For example, if you plan to build a house, working for a building supply company may provide a ten or twenty percent reduction in all materials purchased through that company. That could be quite an additional savings in the cost of construction.

Getting experience in a job as preparation for some subsequent career may be a wonderful benefit. The luxury of experience is priceless. So if you need a certain sort of work experience that you can not get anywhere else, then taking a job for a year or more to get that experience may translate into higher pay in the future. The military is an excellent example of this experience accumulation effect.

Retirement accounts may be an aspect that pushed you in a certain direction.

Pay is usually one of the only benefits of interest to employees. But this might be the last benefit to figure into the equation when picking which job to seek.

Employee Benefits

Employee benefits have a significant financial and administrative impact on a business. The educated American work force has come to expect a comprehensive benefits program; the absence or inadequacy of such a program can seriously hinder a company's ability to attract and retain the best personnel. Designing the right benefit plan for your employees is a complex task that includes taxes, legal aspects, funding, and selection of vendors or administrators.

What is an Employee Benefit Plan?

An employee benefit plan protects employees and their families from economic hardship brought about by sickness, disability, death, or unemployment; it provides retirement income to employees and their families; and it provides a system of leave or time off from work.

A comprehensive benefit plan can include health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance, retirement plan, flexible compensation (cafeteria plans), and leave from work. Broadly defined, a benefit plan can include other components such as bonuses, service awards, reimbursement of employee educational expenses, and other benefits appropriate to employee responsibility.

Why Offer Your Employees Benefits?

Here are some of the reasons employers offer benefits:

To attract and hold capable personnel.

To keep up with competition.

To foster good morale.

To provide opportunities for advancement and promotion as older workers retire.

A combination of benefits programs is the most effective and efficient means of meeting employees' economic security needs. For many employers, a benefit plan is an integral part of total compensation, because employers either pay the entire cost of a benefit plan or have employees contribute a small portion of premium costs for their coverage.
