Maintain Compliance with Complex Regulations
Companies working on federal contracts subject to the Service Contract Act must comply with a unique set of regulations related to the payment of mandatory hourly fringe benefits. Traditional corporate benefit plans are simply not designed to align with hourly fringe rates but rather monthly premiums. CBIZ is here to help.
We understand the complexity of delivering and administering employee benefit programs compliant with these regulations. Our role is to manage the complexity of the regulations while delivering a comprehensive package of benefits to your company’s SCA workforce.
