  25. Employee Benefits • 3770 Beardshear Hall Human Resource Services Closing Thoughts • How employees are “compensated” takes many forms – salary, benefits, working conditions, challenging/stimulating work, co-workers, etc. The right “mix” for each person is different • Pay policies will differ for every employer – some will focus on cash compensation and some will focus on Total Compensation • The employer’s main goal is structuring compensation and benefit programs is to be able to attract and retain the right employees needed to help the employer be competitive

  26. Employee Benefits • 3770 Beardshear Hall Human Resource Services Closing Thoughts Employee benefits have huge budget impacts to employers Benefits are the “hidden paycheck” for employees Employees need to understand the “total compensation” an employer provides – not just the “salary.” Employers need to sell Total Compensation – not just salary Employees need to be “educated consumers” of benefit programs – especially health care and retirement programs Employees should take advantage of retirement plan offerings and save early (time value of $$) – and always save enough to at least take advantage of employer’s matching contribution
