Keep your employees happy and productive.
One of the most important components of running a successful business is keeping employees happy and providing them with enough incentive to maximize their productivity. Offering your employees benefits that go beyond the legal requirements, tends to be very effective. We will help you identify and design a program appropriate for your company and communicate the benefits to your employees.
Retirement
Planning for Retirement
Every business should offer a retirement plan as part of its benefits package to help employees achieve financial security in their retirement years. We will help you design a group insurance plan that fits your business and educate savings with your employees.
401(k) Plans
Employee-sponsored 401(k) retirement plans set aside a portion of wages in individual accounts and are often matched by the employer. Elective deferrals are exempt from the employee’s taxable income.
Simple IRA/SEP Plans
IRAs, or Individual Retirement Accounts, allow individuals a tax-advantaged way to save money for retirement. Two popular types are SIMPLE IRAs, in which employers match contributions made by employees into traditional IRAs—similar to 401(k) plans; and SEP IRAs, simplified employee pension plans where employers make contributions on behalf of their employees.
Payroll Deduction IRAs
Payroll Deduction IRAs enable employees to establish IRAs and have a portion of their paychecks deposited directly into the account. They are simple to set up and require no employer matching contributions.
Profit Sharing Plans
Profit-sharing plans give employees a share of a company’s profit based on quarterly or annual earnings. Their flexibility allows the employer to decide how much (or if) to contribute and may take the form of cash or company stock.
Defined Benefit/Contribution Plans
Defined benefit plans, also known as pensions, are retirement accounts in which employers set aside money to be paid out upon retirement. Defined contribution plans require employees to contribute their own money.
Group insurance encompasses everything from supplemental life to health insurance. We play a critical role in the design, negotiation, and implementation of group benefits to ensure your employees’ happiness and security.

Deferred Compensation
Deferred compensation sets aside a portion of an employee’s income for payout at a later date. This may include pensions, retirement plans, and stock options. In most cases, income taxes are deferred.
Qualified Sick Pay
Qualified sick pay is a salary continuation plan that provides employees with salary payments when they are unable to work because of illness or injury.

Key Person Insurance
Also known as keyman insurance, key person insurance is a policy taken out on an important business figure to aid in business succession or protection in the event of death or disability.
Buy-Sell Funding
Buy-sell funding sometimes called a buy-sell or buyout agreement is a legally binding contract that spells out how a partner or co-owner’s share of the business will be controlled if that person dies, becomes disabled, retires, or leaves the company.
