Employer-Provided Benefits

Take Advantage of Your Employee Benefits

Many employers provide a variety of company-sponsored benefits for their employees. Often, the combined value of these coverages is worth a third or more of an employee’s base pay. In addition, some employer-provided benefits have valuable tax advantages you can't afford to ignore.

If your employer provides a 401(k) plan or Health Care and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and you're not participating, you could be missing out on hundreds – or thousands – of dollars in tax savings each year. That’s money that can go right into your pocket instead of to Uncle Sam.
