Creating a Competitive Employee Benefits Plan Employee benefits plans are an important part of any business owner’s company structure. Part of attracting and retaining talented employees is offering them a competitive benefits package. Some benefits are required by law, while others can be offered simply to boost your company’s appeal. Creating a competitive benefits package is about finding the balance between what is required, what you can afford and what will make your employees happy. Employee Benefits Requirements and Extras The law requires that employers provide their employees with certain benefits, including: Social Security taxes Unemployment insurance Workers compensation Disability insurance Leave benefits (required by the Family and Medical Leave Act) Optional employee benefits and incentives include health insurance plans, retirement plans and pensions, flex time, free financial wellness programs, and corporate memberships. However, most companies offer at least a few of these benefits given that many job seekers feel that they must have them in order to apply for a job. To create an employee benefits plan that works well for your company and your employees, start by including all of the benefits required by law, then add from there. Most employees feel that they must at least have health insurance, and many others desire a retirement plan, disability insurance, and more.  Add in the benefits that have become standard in most companies, such as health and life insurance, and consider adding other benefits based on your budget. It may also be beneficial to survey your employees about what benefits they desire, or you may try to find out what benefits your competitors offer. *Investment and Insurance Products are NOT Bank Deposits, NOT FDIC-Insured, HAVE NO Bank Guarantee, NOT Insured by any Federal Government Agency, May Go Down in Value. ——— Sources: SBA: https://www.sba.gov/content/required-employee-benefits 2 min read

What You Need to Open a Business Banking Account Once you’ve started a business, the money is going to be coming in. You will need a business banking account to keep finances in order and manage cash flow. But, before you head down to your local First Bank,* grab these key documents so your application goes smoothly.

Because businesses make more withdrawals and deposits than the average customer, there are a few documents that a financial advisor will need to see during the application process. Business Licenses Bring along your official license to practice your profession or skill. This extends from everything from law to construction. If your license is in process, ask for an official document stating so from the licensing source. Registration of Business Before opening your business, you probably had to register with the city or state. Be sure to bring the official name and registration information along with you to the bank. This will improve your credibility during the application process. Documentation of Account Holders If your business banking account will be accessed by more than one person, thorough identification will be required of each party. For most applications, a driver’s license, passport or other government picture ID will suffice. It is helpful for all account owners to be present during the application process. Deposit Amount Business banking accounts usually require an initial deposit to be opened. Deposits should be made in cash or in money order form and should meet or exceed the minimum required. Once you have gathered the necessary documents and banknotes, you can arrive fully prepared for a business banking account application.
