What does a good benefits package look like?
While this can differ depending on who you ask, the standard in most industries consists of health insurance, dental insurance, flexible spending accounts, retirement savings plans, vacation time, and additional paid time off for events like family medical leave, maternity leave, and sabbaticals.
What kind of benefits do I get at work?
One of the latest trends is to offer employees an array of coverage that helps balance health, work and lifestyle. These benefits include items like pet insurance, student loan repayment plans, financial planning services, identity theft protection and auto insurance.
Are there any health benefits other than salary?
Many plans offer health savings accounts (HSA). Employers will often contribute to an HSA. As an employee, you can contribute, too. Money set aside in these accounts will grow tax-free if used for medical expenses and often justify taking a lower cost plan with higher deductibles.
How many employees do you have to have for extended medical benefits?
Be sure to confirm what is required in your state. The federal government requires that companies with 20 or more employees continue to provide extended medical benefits to former employees (and their families) for up to 18 months (sometimes longer). States may have additional requirements for extended medical benefits.
Do you consider benefits when taking a new job?
