In designing an employee benefits program, an employer seeks to balance wages, incentives, and employee benefits to meet the needs of employees and the employer's basic compensation philosophy. When designing a benefits program one must consider the following categories:

• Types of Benefits
• Levels of Benefits
• Probationary Periods
• Eligibility Requirements
• Employee Contribution
• Flexible Benefits
• Actual Employee Participation

The task of employee benefit planning is never complete. Concepts of employees needs, the benefits available to meet those needs, how those benefits should be made available to employees, and regulatory requirements are constantly changing. Therefore, the employee benefit plan must be constantly reevaluated and updated to change with them. EBS Consulting will assist your company in developing its own compensation philosophy and then determine how to attain a supportive benefits program.

In addition to the employer's core benefits, employee's specific needs may be met by offering a variety of supplemental benefits without incurring additional cost or unnecessary administrative expense. EBS Consulting assists employers in identifying the right products and the most efficient enrollment process.
