I agree with the high-deductable HSA. I would combine that with some form of flex spending account. When it comes to a small business just hiring, I would think about how much you are obligating yourself to. I recommend holding the wage slightly above the fair market value for a quality employee and then building anything else into a performance based incentive. Plan to pay that and be clear on what is going to satisfy your expectations. I also highly suggest tying in some sort of productivity measure they directly contribute to in the conduct of their role.

I've got more on vac/sic along same line if you need. Just got a call...

Health and dental benefits will definitely help retain employees. Another great way is using the "golden cuffs" concept using section 162 restricted executive bonus plans. More details at securefloridian.com

The cheapest and perhaps most used benefit plan is a legal plan. It allows employees to focus on work instead of problems and it doesn't cost the employer anything. http://www.prepaidlegalplans.ws

Travelmom,

Is this insurance or a discount card. At $53 it sounds more like a discount health card which in most cases is not insurance.

Post a weblink and at least someone who is interested can look at the coverage to see if it is an option.

From an accounting point of view, how long have you been in business??
Is the business in the black?? Do you have an Accountant??
Have you prepared a CASH BUDGET showing the cost of your new employee??, payroll taxes??
and the cost of the benefit compensation??
Good luck, Happy Thanksgiving, LUCKIEST.

Hello there! You are correct, benefits make a big difference. My business is health and dental plans, so that is what I am most knowledgable about - check out some of the other answers to your question for ideas about vacation time.

If you cannot incur the complete cost of health and dental plans, you could, for instance, help them for with the application fee and the first month. There are many benefit plans out there, just make sure you do your research before signing any deals.

Good luck! I am sure your employees will appreciate your committment to them!
