Voluntary Supplemental Disability Income Insurance

Most Group Disability plans fall short of protecting high income earners.  Bonus compensation and base salary above a certain maximum aren’t covered, and disability benefits are often subject to federal, state and local taxes.  Corporate-sponsored disability insurance (DI) closes the compensation gap your executives face and are becoming popular additions to the suite of group benefits that organizations need to stay competitive.  Highlights of the program and key attributes include:

  • No cost to the firm. These are individually purchased policies and enrollees are billed directly and not through any of the firm’s payroll
  • Very limited time commitment on the firm’s part. HR’s involvement literally encompasses the supplying of a census, and sign off on the offer and communication strategy. At that point, Petschauer Insurance and the designated insurance company complete any enrollment interaction with the individual
  • All eligible employees will receive a permanent discount that will range from 25 to 30% for males and 40 to 50% for females over comparable retail product
  • There may be some level of Guaranteed Issue Coverage, meaning that some amount of monthly benefit will be given to any executive who enrolls regardless of their medical condition. This will be of tremendous value to anyone with any type of pre-existing
  • All policies are individually owned, portable, and carry the discounted premium for the life of the
  • No changes to existing group coverage and vendor necessary. These policies compliment benefits currently in place.

Long Term Care Protection

An increasing number of employers are offering long-term care insurance as part of their benefits programs.  This coverage can protect the employee and their families from the devastating costs of nursing home, assisting living, home care, and other services required to facilitate such daily activities as eating, dressing, and bathing.  Long-term care insurance offered as corporate benefit are generally less expensive than coverage purchased in retail setting.   Policies are also available to cover the employee’s spouse and their parents.  If someone in their family requires care, your key employee may not have to stop working to assume caregiver responsibilities.  Having Long Term Care protection on themselves and their family provides resources to pay for their care allows the employee can remain productive in their career.

Cash Indemnity Policies

We offer Policies that pay cash for employees and their families in the event of Critical Illness, Cancer, Hospitalization, Disability and Dental expenses.  These are affordable plans that supplement existing medical benefits.   

DEFERRED COMPENSATION and EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLANS FOR KEY EMPLOYEES

Most of your employees can replace their entire income after retirement with a tax-deferred plan, like a 401(k). But your top executives can’t.

Most of your employees fund their retirement with a tax-deferred plan, like a 401(k). But top executives may not have this option. Due to government rules, their contribution potential can be restricted, which limits their ability to accumulate sufficient funds for retirement. In fact, they may be able to replace only 30 to 50 percent of their salary because of government rules. That’s where a well-designed executive benefits solution come in.  That gives your business a serious recruiting and retention advantage — if you offer a competitive executive benefits program.

  • To motivate an executive to work hard and stick around, you can pay the premiums on a specially designed, employee-owned life insurance policy. The premium amount becomes a compensation bonus to the executive that is vested over time.
  • Freedom to select participants among highly compensated management.
  • No IRS Approval — IRS approval is not required; avoids most of the cost and administrative requirements associated with establishing a qualified plan under ERISA
  • We properly structure these plans so that the policy’s tax advantaged cash value accumulation and death benefit help provide your executives with significant income and survivor benefits.
  • Ability for employee to defer pretax compensation in amounts above qualified plan limits
