The Total Approach
 
As valuable as Dependent Eligibility Audits are, they may not always be perceived as intended.  Especially when employees are asked to now 'prove' the dependent coverage they have been enjoying all this time.  You may not be too worried about the employees that are abusing the system but you might be more concerned how this will go over with your good employees.  Getting your employees' buy in to the process is just as important as the eprocess itself.  In this light, consider the following 'total' approach... 
 
 
In this day of escalating employee benefit costs, employers are continuingly seeking for new ways to positively impact the bottom-line.  And rightfully so, especially when employee benefits represent the second largest expense a company has after payroll.  But after switching insurance carriers, increasing employee exposures such as higher copays, deductibles and coinsurances, what else can an employer do?  Before we propose any solutions, let’s take a hard look at some of the realities most employers are facing in today’s benefit environment… (þ Check all that apply)

 

q  Covering employees that should not be on your health insurance plan or who could be covered on their spouse’s plan

q  Covering dependents that are doubly covered on a spouse’s plan under COB or the ‘Birthday Rule’

q  Covering ineligible or illegitimate dependents who should not be on your health insurance plan

q  Lackluster participation in your Section 125 Medical and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts, Section 132 TEA Commuter Transit Accounts losing you valuable FICA payroll tax savings

q  Lackluster participation in your 401-k plan resulting in a low ADP causing your executives to lose valuable opportunities to maximizing their pre-tax savings and retirement plans

q  Lack of employee engagement resulting in higher than necessary absenteeism and turnover

q  Inadequate employee communications resulting in employee under appreciation of their ‘Hidden Paycheck’ of provided benefits (40% to 60% of pay according to the US Chamber of Commerce)

q  Outdated or missing HR systems and tools to keep pace with employee interaction demand

q  Non compliant execution of ERISA, DOL, Section 105, 106, 125 and 401-k fiduciary liabilities

 

We have unique ideas, programs and manpower that can address these challenges with solutions such as:

ü  Re-certify and re-enroll your employees and legitimate dependents in their core group benefits

ü  Increase FSA, TEA and 401-k participation, raise the ADP and assist in your compliance efforts,

ü  Engage employees and immerse them in their benefit elections through education and communication of all of your employee benefits and their dollar values to gain new appreciation

ü  Boost employee morale, increase productivity, reduce turnover and attract top talent,

ü  Provide new additional benefit choices at no cost to you while saving substantial payroll taxes,

ü  Outsourced HR assistance with on and offline tools and 3,500 Benefit Counselors for hands on help,

ü  Help your employees understand and appreciate what your do for them and make your job easier.
