The CBIZ Insurance Trust incorporates our best practices approach to benefits for SCA and DBA employees, including the following:
- Core benefit offering of Employee Only Medical/Dental/Vision with Basic Life/AD&D and Short Term Disability paid for entirely out of the employer’s hourly fringe benefit contribution. All full-time employees are provided this benefit package at no out of pocket expense. Employees may waive only upon proof of other group insurance coverage
- Employees may use any hourly fringe dollars in excess of the cost of the core benefit package to offset a portion of the additional cost of a richer plan or dependent coverage
- Employees whose H&W benefit elections do not fully utilize the hourly fringe will receive an employer contribution to the employer’s qualified retirement plan (typically a 401(k) plan). This contribution is calculated bi-monthly during the hourly fringe reconciliation process. CBIZ calculates the contribution and prepares an up-loadable contribution report tailored to the file specifications dictated by your 401(k) administrator
- No cash in lieu of benefits options are allowed. The employer’s hourly fringe benefit contribution is fully utilized in providing bona fide fringe benefits. Neither the employer nor employee experience any adverse payroll related expenses as a result
Advantages of the CBIZ Insurance Trust include the following:
- Greater risk pooling with participating employer
- Benefit plan options that are consistent nationally for all prevailing wage employees
- The ability to implement new contract sites within a shortened time frame
- Dedicated actuarial and underwriting services
