TYPICAL COSTS OF EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The costs of employee benefits will usually average about 15%-30% of payroll depending on the size of your organization.
Employees receive a higher value from benefits than a wage increase.
For the same cost of an annual wages/salary increase, the employer’s total outlay is lower than the total outlay of the actual wage increase.

COMPETITIVE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS COMMONLY INCLUDE:

Life insurance
Health insurance (e.g., coverage for medications, chiropractor services and other paramedical specialists, upgraded hospital care)
Vision care
Employee assistance programs
Dental insurance
Short-term disability insurance (above what is offered by Employment Insurance and Canada Pension Plan if additional coverage is needed)
Long-term disability insurance (This should be paid by the employee so the employee will not be taxed on the benefit should they ever need to claim it)

Wellness programs (such as access to gym memberships etc.)
