Group Benefits Insurance in Ontario

Why Get Group Benefits Insurance?

Group benefits insurance, also known as group health insurance, can provide an excellent incentive for your employees. In fact, it can be more beneficial in the long run than a simple pay raise. The reasons for this are:

1. The benefits are often more tax-effective than a salary increase. Health and dental benefits are tax-free in Ontario.
2. You can help your employees protect their health and wellness, as well as that of their families.
3. Employees lower their health care costs because the employer pays part or all of the premiums. They thus don’t need to use after-tax money to pay for insurance policies.
4. Group benefits provide a great way to show appreciation for your team members, demonstrating that you care about more than just their output. In this way, group benefits promote a happier work environment and better staff morale.
5. Both the employer and the employee enjoy lower health care costs. Employees will get good, affordable insurance cover for the family. Employers looking to offer their staff good benefits will also find group benefits to be a very affordable option. The larger the number of employees on the plan, the lower the risk pool and, therefore, more options at a lower price than would normally be available. The insurance cover that each staff member gets from the plan is less expensive than it would be if they bought individual insurance cover.

Who Can Qualify For Group Benefits?
