When employees participate in your plan, each employee reduces his or her taxable wages. As a result, payroll and associated expenses are less. For example:
- A reduction in the employer matching portion of FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) tax;
- A reduction in the employer paid portion of FUTA (Federal Unemployment Tax Act) tax;
- In some instances a reduction in workers' compensation insurance costs.
An employer who establishes a 125 Cafeteria plan can, among other things, realize the following:
- The ability to expand employee benefits;
- Employee appreciation of your enhanced benefit package (Surveys prove that employee benefit packages are a major factor in successfully hiring and keeping quality employees).
