by Mary KaylorOn April 24, 2018 0 comments

It can be difficult for a 25-year-old to envision life after age 65, let alone to start saving for it—and many of your employees aren’t even sure how or where to start saving. That’s why it’s important for employers to take an active role in educating employees about the benefits of retirement savings plans.

The 401(k) and similar retirement plans can be an automatic and easy way for employees to save pretax dollars for the future. They promote goodwill between employees and employer, create a culture of financial wellness,...

What to Know in the Immigration Debate Now: “Queen-of-the-Hill”?

by Rebecca PetersOn April 23, 2018 0 comments

Immigration reform is filled with complexities. Just to name a few are the politics, the body of law and policy and often the use of terms that only add confusion. During the 2007 immigration debate, I recall the term “clay pigeon” (a Senate floor procedure) confused even the experts. Right now, the term that is turning heads is “Queen-of-the-Hill”.

The Cadillac Creep Will Impact Your Econo-Health Plan

by Crystal FreyOn April 20, 2018 0 comments

As an HR Professional in 2010, I recall thinking, as I struggled to wrap my mind around the myriad of complex provisions included in the ACA, that the Cadillac tax was probably one provision that I didn’t need to concern myself with. After all, it was years in the future and only applied to those other, richer plans, right? Time for a fast forward reality-check.

The Cadillac tax has been delayed in the past but is set to begin in 2022 on high-cost employer-sponsored health coverage. It will tax health coverage that exceeds $10,200 for individual coverage and $27,500 for...

Want to Keep Your People? Then Protect What they Care About!

by Cecilia ClarkOn April 18, 2018 0 comments

When I was playing with the idea to make a move, I sat down and asked myself, "what is important to me?"

As I sat down, my little girl came up to me and said, “Mommy, I am hungry and I want a snack!” That’s when it hit me! This little girl means the world to me.

I have onboarded a couple hundred new employees and the question that I...
