E-News for February 27, 2015
Dear Members and Friends:
Voluntary Dental and Vision Insurance Savings – Do your
employees want dental and vision insurance? Both the employee and the
employer can save money if you buy it as the employer rather than have
employees buy the insurance as individuals. Here is how this works:
Let’s pretend that a person can buy dental and vision insurance for
$1,000 per year. That is the price for the insurance, whether you
purchase it, or your employee purchases it. However, in order for the employee to get the $1,000 that
they need in order to pay for the insurance, they have to actually be paid about $1,300 dollars before
taxes. Therefore, the employee has to earn about $1,300, depending upon their tax bracket, to actually
“get” $1,000. Additionally, to give them that $1,300, you pay about $130 in employer paid taxes and
fees on that income.
If you change the way in which the money is paid to the insurance company, there is a big savings on
voluntary dental and vision insurance. Insurance costs can be paid pre-tax, which lowers the employees’
taxable income. If you, as the employer, pay the insurance company directly, and deducts the amount
from the employees’ paycheck, the total cost is only $1,000 because insurance premiums are not taxed
and the employee does not have to pay the government the extra $300 in taxes.
You as the employer make out better also. The $1,000 that was deducted from the paycheck, and paid on
the employees’ behalf, does not incur approximately $100 in employer paid taxes and fees, which would
have to be paid if the money went directly to your employee. Instead, the money is paid directly to the
insurance company and is not taxed. This is win/win for both the employee and the employer. The
employee saves about $300, and the employer about $100, and the employee gets the exact same
insurance from the exact same provider!
To learn more about how easy it is to do this type of voluntary program, call our preferred insurance
person, Todd Taylor, at Taylor Benefits. Todd can help employers set up small voluntary groups and
save money while helping their employees. You can reach Todd at 650-594-5933. Todd has helped

Not just for kids! It’s a good way to keep up with things at the Exchange. If you don’t have
Twitter, you should get it on your cellphone. It gives you brief messages and if you are
interested in the topic, you can download from the source by tapping a link. If you are not interested, just
ignore it. The good part about Twitter is that it is non-invasive. You can review it in an instant from
anywhere and ignore what you don’t want to see.

“WELCOME TO THE DELIRIOUSLY AMUSING, MALEVOLENT, HEARTWARMING, HEAD-SPINNING WORLD OF MATILDA THE MUSICAL. YOU WON’T WANT TO LEAVE.” –
BLOOMBERG NEWS
Winner of 50 international awards, including the Tony Award®, and
one of the biggest hits on Broadway, MATILDA THE MUSICAL is
the story of an extraordinary little girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her
own destiny.
Rolling Stone calls the show “hands down the BEST MUSICAL of
the season.” Based on the beloved novel by Roald Dahl, MATILDA
continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages on Broadway and
in London’s West End.
The Wall Street Journal says, “The makers of MATILDA have done
the impossible – triumphantly! It is smart, sweet, zany and stupendous fun.”
“ONCE IN A BLUE MOON, A SHOW COMES OUT BLAZING AND RESTORES YOUR FAITH
IN BROADWAY. MATILDA THE MUSICAL IS THAT
SHOW.” NEW YORK POST

Litigation History Search Request
One of the best ways for residential contractors to assess your owner client is to look at their
past. Have they been involved in a lot of litigation? People tend to continue the same pattern in
life and those who have had a great many disputes in the past will probably also have them in the
future. Your exchange will provide member companies with a San Mateo County court history
of prospective clients.
Please complete the form, sign and return to PBX by fax or mail. Please note that all responses to
your request are by email only, so be sure to provide a clearly printed email address.
