Large businesses must offer health insurance as an option for workers if they employ fifty or more people full-time. The ACA provides requirements detailing coverage and affordability. To be considered “affordable,” the plan can’t cost the worker more than 9.61 percent of their income. However, that limit only applies to individual employee coverage, not including dependents’ costs. Suppose the worker’s pay is $50,000 annually. For that person, the affordability limit is $4,805 for that individual, meaning that the premium could be as much as $400 a month. The program can also have a deductible and coinsurance (a fee each time the subscriber uses a service). Overall, it must be expected to absorb 60 percent of the costs anticipated for services needed by a typical subscriber. Finally, the plan must include ten essential benefit areas:

In contrast, others may want to work remotely or prefer help catching up on retirement planning. Some companies add so-called voluntary programs, which are often discounts they can offer to workers without a financial cost. These can include pet insurance, legal plans, life insurance, and other offers.
