Employee Benefits Built Around Your California Workforce

The right benefits program does more than provide insurance. It can help your company compete for talent, support employees and create a more consistent experience across your organization.

However, employers must also balance employee expectations with cost, plan design, participation, administration and changing regulatory responsibilities.

Sacco & Sacco takes the time to understand your company, workforce and priorities before recommending a benefits strategy. You will work with a dedicated associate who learns your organization and continues supporting your program after coverage is placed.

What Can a California Employee Benefits Program Include?

Depending on your company, employee population, eligibility requirements and available plans, an employee benefits package may include:

Group Health Insurance

Medical coverage designed to help eligible employees and their families manage healthcare expenses.

Dental Insurance

Benefits for preventive care and other eligible dental services, subject to the selected plan.

Vision Insurance

Coverage that may help with routine eye examinations, prescription eyewear and other eligible vision services.

Group Life and AD&D Insurance

Employer-sponsored protection that can provide financial support following a covered death or accidental injury.

Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Insurance

Benefits designed to replace a portion of an eligible employee’s income following a qualifying illness or injury.

Voluntary and Supplemental Benefits

Employee-paid or employer-supported options that can expand the overall benefits package without treating every benefit the same way.

Available benefits, carriers, networks, contribution structures and eligibility requirements vary. Sacco & Sacco can help your organization compare appropriate options.

What Should California Employers Consider?

A strong employee benefits program should reflect more than the number of people on payroll. Important considerations may include:

• Employee locations and access to provider networks
• Workforce demographics and benefit priorities
• Employer and employee contribution levels
• Employee participation requirements
• Recruitment and retention objectives
• Plan deductibles, copayments and out-of-pocket costs
• Eligibility and waiting-period decisions
• Enrollment communication and administration
• Federal and California compliance considerations
• Anticipated hiring and organizational growth

The objective is not simply to offer more benefits. It is to build a program employees can understand and the business can support.
