Why Group Benefits?
In a competitive work environment such as we have in Canada, offering benefits can attract new employees and encourage them to stay with your company. Providing your employees with a benefit plan goes a long way in adding value to their compensation through the security it provides.
Group Benefit Plan premiums in BC, when paid on behalf of the employee are, with the exception of life insurance, considered a non-taxable benefit to the employee. Dental and Extended Health, for example, are tax-free benefits to the employee when premiums are paid by the employer.
We can put a group benefit plan in place for groups as small as one. What is important is that the benefits be affordable and appropriate for the group.
