SurePayroll Offers Small Business Employers New Health Savings Programs

Partnership with ZANE Benefits Allows SurePayroll to Extend Affordable Health Savings Solutions

GLENVIEW, IL – May 12, 2010 – SurePayroll, the online alternative, today announced that it has partnered with ZANE Benefits to offer small business employers affordable health savings programs that save their employees up to 50 percent on health care costs.

By now allowing employees with individual plans to pay for health costs on a pre-tax basis through premium only plans (POPs) and to cover other medical expenses through health reimbursement accounts (HRAs), the programs provide employers a way to offer health savings without offering group-sponsored health insurance.

Employees save roughly 20 percent to 50 percent, and employers can expect the program to pay for itself within one year by reducing FICA matching taxes by 7.5 percent on average. Customers can administer all programs online, making SurePayroll an even more convenient one-stop shop for small business owners nationwide.

SurePayroll's Vice President of Product Management Steve Kania is proud to offer small businesses viable options for health savings programs for every stage of their business growth.

“Not every small business owner can afford to offer a group health insurance plan, or even contribute to a health savings program, but most want to help their employees,” says Kania. “That's the appeal of this offering – small business owners can provide a program that will save their employees real money, but may not cost them a cent in the end. We've expanded our offerings to serve virtually every small business owner looking to help his employees cut their health care costs.”

SurePayroll offers zero-contribution options where employees pay for health care costs on a pre-tax basis, as well as health care assistance options where employers contribute to each employee's health savings plan on a monthly basis. Additionally, SurePayroll offers group and individual health insurance plans through a variety of top-rated carriers.

ZANE Benefits founder Professor Paul Zane Pilzer acknowledges the breadth of health care choices SurePayroll offers its customers.

“In the new landscape of the American health care system, SurePayroll ZaneHRA and ZanePOP offer business owners revolutionary vehicles to give employees affordable health insurance."

In keeping with SurePayroll's history of providing convenient, hassle-free solutions for small business, SurePayroll manages all insurance deductions, paperwork and reimbursements directly. Insurance consultants are on hand to help business owners understand which plan is right for them.
