The Advantages of Group Voluntary Insurance & Employee Benefit Plans - Continued
Below are just a few of the advantages an employee will realize by participating
in a voluntary insurance and employee benefit plan:
1) Provide pre-screened companies and counseling services:
Voluntary plans give the employee the benefit of individual insurance counseling
on the job.
Voluntary plans
also allow the employee an opportunity to participate in a program from
an agent and company that has been pre-screened by
the employer,
thereby relinquishing them of the need to acquire insurance on their own.
2)
Guarantee coverage:
Voluntary plans are normally more liberally underwritten and in many
cases guaranteed issue.
3) Expand benefit options:
Voluntary plans allow employees to choose from a unique array of
benefits that will provide the coverage they and their families
need.
Voluntary plans
supplement existing benefits and fill unprotected gaps,
thereby expanding the employee’s coverage needs.
4) Increase
convenience & flexibility:
Voluntary plans are convenient for the employee because the premium
is automatically deducted from the paycheck, freeing the employee
from having
to write checks,
pay postage, worry about missed premium statements, or have to
pay a larger premium payment every month (premiums can be deducted
on a weekly,
biweekly
or monthly basis, thereby allowing the insured to make smaller,
installment payments on their premium payments).
Voluntary plans are flexible, the employee decides whether to
participate, who to insure and which benefits to select.
Most voluntary employee benefit plans are portable (and the insured
is fully vested in their benefits), giving the employee the option
of continuing
his/her
coverage if they leave the business.
