Employee Benefits

Finding the right solution for your company’s employee benefit needs requires a thorough evaluation of your company’s goals and priorities and a great deal of market research and evaluation. The team at Schroeder Insurance will put in the time and effort needed to find the customized benefit solution that best fits your business by following our 7-step process:

1. Fact Finding - We gather the information we need about your business so we can appropriately advise and consult with you about your insurance needs. During this step, you’ll complete a questionnaire and provide necessary documents so that we can get a holistic view of your benefits needs.
2. Pre-Quote Analysis - We’ll thoroughly analyze your current benefits, your needs, and where that current plan is falling short of those needs. Through this thorough analysis, we can uncover details that will help us determine what type of plan options to recommend for you.
3. Electronic Health Statements - Our advanced technology and state-of-the-art applications make it easy for your employees to complete health statements online. These are then automatically loaded into carrier forms, so we can find the best health coverage for your employees’ overall wellbeing.
4. Application Submission - We’ll submit employee applications to carriers on your behalf to get pricing on plans that best fit your needs as an employer and your employee's health needs. It may take up to 14 business days after submission to receive responses from carriers.
5. Post-Quote Analysis - We’ll break down the quotes from carriers and provide easy-to-understand comparisons to help you make important decisions regarding your benefits packages.

Do I need to offer employee benefits?

Technically, no law requires employers to offer benefits to their employees. However, the Affordable Care Act does impose penalties on employers with 50 or more full-time employees who do not provide health insurance to at least 95% of their workers. If you have at least 50 employees, it is often more affordable to provide the benefits than to pay the annual fee to the government.

Even if you have fewer than 50 employees, providing employee benefits can help you be a more attractive option to potential workers. In today’s job market, it’s generally expected that an employer will at least offer some form of group health insurance, and offering more benefits in addition to this can help you to stand out to top candidates.

What kinds of employee benefits packages are available? 

There are a variety of benefits packages available on the marketplace, and sifting through them can be quite time-consuming. That’s why we do most of the legwork for you, after we gain an understanding of your needs and priorities. Types of employee benefits you may consider offering include:
