What's In a Comprehensive Employee Benefits Package?

Smaller employers tend to offer fewer components in the employee benefits package – and sometimes, no benefits at all. But, the majority of large companies and virtually all public sector government employers provide an extensive employee benefits package.

Small businesses that are growing and expanding need to plan a careful phase-in of employee benefits so that as you grow, you continue to attract and retain the talent you need for further growth and expansion. Employers can expand this employee benefits package, as resources allow.

With an almost endless variety of potential employee benefits that are listed in Are You Getting the Best Benefits From Your Benefits? and wished for in What Employee Benefits Would You Love to Have or Offer?, an employer can customize an employee benefits package to the needs and desires of its employees.

These are the components of an attractive employee benefits package. No laws require an employer to offer these voluntary employee benefits.

An employee benefits package includes:

·                     Paid Holidays

·                     Paid Vacation Days

·                     Paid Sick Days

·                     Paid Personal Days

·                     Bereavement or Funeral Leave
