Benefits and Compensation
Compensation Consultants for businesses of every size
A positive company culture and inspiring work are coveted qualities in a workplace. But let’s face it—a good salary and benefits package will help you attract and retain good talent. So you want to be sure you’re offering the best options you can provide for both prospective and current employees.
It sounds like a simple enough endeavor, but higher pay rates and stuffed benefits packages aren’t the only guidelines. Salaries should not only be attractive but also appropriate for the position. Fluffy fringe benefits, while intriguing, don’t mean much if an employee doesn’t really use them (not to mention that benefits can be subject to tax treatment, regulations and other outside factors).
In short… there’s a lot to consider when putting together or revising your organization’s pay and benefits. Our compensation consultants can help you make sense of the options available and ensure that you meet the necessary regulations. Our work for you can include:
Compensation surveys/analysis
Benefits analysis, consultations and administration
COBRA administration
ACA compliance consulting
ERISA compliance consulting
Garnishment/tax levy administration
Timekeeping and expense guidelines
401k Peace of Mind
