Health & Wellness Spending Accounts

Aids In Cost Management

A great way to manage the costs of your benefits plan while still providing value to your employees is through the allocation of your benefits. This is accomplished by moving an insured benefit to your HSA.

Flexibility For Your Employees

Because any CRA-approved medical expense can be claimed under an HSA, you are providing your employees with the flexibility to claim what matters most to them.

Promote Employee Wellness

While an HSA is for medical expenses, its wellness counterpart allows for employee reimbursement of a wide range of wellness expenses like gym memberships, fitness equipment, professional development courses and more.

fees based on claim
Fees Based On Claims Paid

Your fees and taxes are calculated based on the actual claims paid, whereas with traditionally funded plans you pay taxes and fees based on your overall premiums paid.

Lower Administration Costs

With an ASO plan, the administration fee percentage is typically lower than traditionally funded programs which equate to bottom-line savings for your business.

Endless Plan Design Options

ASO plans carry an immense amount of flexibility which allows for tailoring of deductibles, co-insurance, covered benefits and exclusions to perfectly fit the needs of your employees.

Group Retirement

Encouraging Savings

A group retirement savings plan (GRSP) is a great way to encourage employees to save for retirement. Employees who choose to contribute to the GRSP will have a percentage of their income deducted from each pay cheque and put directly into the plan design that they choose.

Profit Sharing Plans

Like a GRSP, a deferred profit sharing plan (DPSP) helps your employees save for their retirement through an employer-only contribution. DPSPs are advantageous allow for avoidance of additional payroll expenses and provide employers with the ability to control when and how the money is withdrawn.

Gain A Competitive Edge

In a competitive employment market, the total compensation package you provide for your employees can encourage employee retention and incite the right talent to join your organization over that of a competitor.
