Tuscaloosa, AL is more than a college town—it’s home to the world-famous University of Alabama and the Crimson Tide football team. Tuscaloosa also boasts Stillman College and, as a result, a highly educated labor force.
Employers in Tuscaloosa must find a way to stand out from the competition to find success in recruiting and retaining skilled employees. One great way to be an attractive employer is by offering a robust benefits program that includes health insurance.
While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that most large employers provide affordable health insurance to their workers, small companies are still exempt from this obligation. However, workers prioritize health insurance as a component of their benefits plans and are more likely to stick with a company that offers group coverage. The primary reason for this preference is that group coverage is typically more comprehensive and less costly than an individual plan.
Smaller companies may hesitate to shoulder the cost, but many share the premium expense with their employees. In addition, these costs are business expenses and may be tax deductible. Also, these employers may offset the cost with savings in hiring and training.
Once a company decides to include health insurance in the benefits package, it must face the challenge of choosing an insurance company. This step requires extensive research and evaluation of potential vendors. Consider these factors when engaging in this process:
