Voluntary Employee Benefits
Strengthen Your Benefits Package Without Increasing Your Budget
Colonial Life voluntary benefits allow employers to offer additional financial protection for employees without adding significant cost to the company. These supplemental benefits help cover expenses that major medical insurance often does not, such as out-of-pocket medical costs, lost income, and household bills after an accident or illness.
By offering voluntary benefits, employers can provide a more complete benefits package while allowing employees to choose the coverage that fits their individual needs.
How Voluntary Benefits Work
Voluntary benefits are typically employee-paid and offered through convenient payroll deduction. Coverage is selected by employees and payments are made directly to them if they experience a covered event, allowing them to use the money where they need it most.
This approach allows employers to expand their benefits offering while maintaining control of their benefits budget.
Benefits Your Employees May Choose
Colonial Life offers a wide range of supplemental benefits designed to help employees protect their income and finances during unexpected events. Examples include:
- Disability insurance to replace a portion of income if an employee cannot work due to illness or injury
- Accident insurance to help cover medical expenses related to accidents
- Hospital indemnity insurance to help with hospital stays or surgeries
- Critical illness insurance that pays a lump-sum benefit after a covered diagnosis
- Cancer insurance to help offset treatment costs
- Life insurance
- Dental, and vision options for additional financial protection
Benefits are often available for employees, spouses, and dependent children.
A Simpler Enrollment Experience
A key advantage of working with Colonial Life is the focus on employee education and personalized enrollment support. Benefits counselors can meet one-on-one with employees to explain their options and help them select coverage that fits their needs.
Enrollment can be conducted in multiple ways depending on your workforce, including:
- In-person meetings
- Virtual appointments
- Phone enrollments
- Online self-service options
This flexible approach helps ensure employees understand their benefits and make informed decisions.
Support for Employers
Employers also receive ongoing support throughout the entire benefits process, including setup, enrollment, billing, and service assistance.
Additional value-added services may include employee financial wellness programs, HR resources, and benefits communication tools designed to help employees better understand and use their benefits.
Why Employers Offer Voluntary Benefits
Adding voluntary benefits can help employers:
- Attract and retain quality employees
- Enhance an existing benefits package
- Provide financial protection for employees
- Offer more choice without increasing benefits costs
Voluntary benefits allow employers to support their workforce while keeping costs predictable and manageable.
