In recent years, major structural changes were made to the pension plans, including re-amortizing the funds' debt over a new 30-year period, and projecting more-realistic investment returns of 6.9 percent, Beckham said. "In the last couple of years we have made enough deposits that have saved $9.4 billion over the next 25 years," Beckham said, noting that last year, there would have only been a $3 billion savings over the next quarter century.
Beyond offering retirement savings accounts, many employers will match what employees deposit up to a certain amount. And, as an increasing amount of young people graduate college with student loan debt, more employers are including loan repayments in their benefits. Some employers offer debt relief programs or will match contributions, DeRusso said.
Note you might have to recreate your flow to get this to work. Simply toggling them to "Yes" did not fix it for me. I had to rebuild the flow from scratch with them toggled "Yes", then my attachments started saving with all the content.

While putting all your eggs in one basket by attempting to contain employee benefits cost via an annual renewal negotiation is still more mainstream than the exception, employers would realize far more sustainable savings if they sat down with an employee benefits broker who is dedicated to year-round cost saving strategies. Additionally, renewal negotiations, which are still very much a part of cost containment, should not only be focused on price, but also on the multitude of contractual issues which, when thoroughly reviewed, can yield substantial cost savings.
The three areas we consider of greatest importance to sustainable employee benefits cost savings are 1) wellness through the identification and management of chronic conditions within an overall health plan, 2) high-dollar claims intervention, and 3) the effective purchasing of healthcare in the open market.
An employee benefits package is typically one of the top expenses for an organization (second only to payroll) and looking for opportunities to find savings in this area can have a positive impact on your bottom line. Viewing your employee benefits offering entirely through the lens of cost savings, however, can end up impacting your ability to attract and retain talent.

One study found that 46 percent of companies that allow telework say it has reduced attrition, and 95 percent say telework has a high impact on employee retention. Losing long-term employees can cost a company between $10,000 and $30,000 each, so keeping them on board longer can result in massive cost savings in the long term.
The thought of saving significant costs may be enough for you to consider implementing a telecommunication policy. You might also be attracted to the thought of your employees being more satisfied, more productive and happier. These are all great benefits that can result from a work-from-home policy.
"All I could think about was saving this man's life," Wilhoite said. "My adrenaline kicked in, and I just went into 'rescue mode' to help somebody out. It wasn't really anything else, just that I needed to help somebody."
Many of the most affected industries, such as food service, retail, and hospitality, operate on razor-thin margins. The expanded Employee Retention Credit can easily add up to six figures to help make up these margins. Thanks to the repeal of the ERC/PPP mutual exclusivity provision, business owners no longer have to crunch the numbers to decide which program has a better chance of saving their business.
*These tax examples are broad approximations of tax liability. Your specific savings depend on your tax bracket. You should consult a tax advisor for help with your own situation. Current IRS tax laws control all HSA matters and are subject to change.
Employers whose HSA contributions flow through a Cafeteria Plan can establish a matching program. Employees may be more inclined to respond and increase their deposits to an HSA than to a retirement account because they may incur the expenses that the savings cover next week or next month, rather than see the value of the account farther into the future.
The amount saved in taxes will vary depending on the amount set aside in the account, annual earnings, whether or not Social Security taxes are paid, the number of exemptions and deductions claimed, tax bracket and state and local tax regulations. Check with a tax advisor for information on whether your participation will affect tax savings. None of the information provided should be considered tax or legal advice.
Government incentives or not, healthy employees cost you less. Doctors Richard Milani and Carl Lavie demonstrated that point by studying, at a single employer, a random sample of 185 workers and their spouses. The participants were not heart patients, but they received cardiac rehabilitation and exercise training from an expert team. Of those classified as high risk when the study started (according to body fat, blood pressure, anxiety, and other measures), 57% were converted to low-risk status by the end of the six-month program. Furthermore, medical claim costs had declined by $1,421 per participant, compared with those from the previous year. A control group showed no such improvements. The bottom line: Every dollar invested in the intervention yielded $6 in health care savings. 2ff7e9595c
