It’s safe to say that you’re always looking to make smart strategic decisions for your business. You’re constantly looking to save money while staying competitive in your industry. Part of maintaining your competitive edge is retaining key employees, usually through bonuses and/or raises.
The concept is straightforward; you reward an employee’s good work with a raise. However, consider this: that raise actually costs you more when you take into account pay-roll taxes like CPP/QPP, EI, etc. Not to mention the value of that raise to the employee is greatly reduced due to federal and provincial taxes.
On the other hand, by offering your employees a group benefits plan, you’re giving them medical and financial peace of mind. In all provinces except Quebec, employees receive health and dental benefits tax-free and your contributions as a business owner are considered a tax deduction.
Not only does this help retain valued staff, it works to attract any prospective employees in the future.
