12 How Your Business And Workers Benefit From Supplemental Insurance Continued from page 8….. Employees need a financial safety net. Benefits received from supplemental insurance have long served as a way to help protect employees when they are sick or injured, regardless of their ma- jor medical insurance coverage. Some of these benefits include vision, dental, pet insurance, short-term disability, accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity. Supplemental benefit re- cipients can use money received from these products to help pay for their daily living expenses, such as rent, mortgage payment, groceries, child care, and medical bills during the time the insured is unable to work When companies add voluntary products to their companies' benefits package, they can raise employees' level of satisfaction and help them feel more financially prepared to cope with possible life-changing events. On the other hand, employers can experience lower operational costs and save money in the process. The result is a win-win sit- uation for both employer and employee How reasonable it is for businesses to want to reduce payroll taxes and lower health insurance expenses.
