Toolkits

Employers can use these toolkits to help them set up tax-advantaged accounts and to access information and materials to share with employees to help them better understand — and get the most from — their benefits through the Board of Pensions.

Annual Enrollment and new hire

These materials can help employees enroll in benefits as a new hire and each year during Annual Enrollment. They can also help employees understand their benefits options and how they work. Employees can find additional information about benefits offerings through the Board of Pensions in Member Guidance.

Call to Health

Use these communication materials to promote healthy living in your workplace through the Call to Health well-being program. This program, available to Medical Plan members in the PPO, EPO, and HDHP, offers activities that support and educate employees in four key areas of wholeness: spiritual, health, financial, and vocational. Members can earn digital gift cards and even reduce their medical deductible for the following year by completing activities and achieving new levels.

Employee Assistance Plan

The Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) toolkit has information employers can share with employees to raise awareness and increase usage of the EAP, including a handout, a flyer, a poster, and a manager guide.

Tax-advantaged accounts

Employers may sponsor one or more tax-advantaged plans to offer employees the opportunity to redirect pretax deductions from their paychecks to pay or be reimbursed for eligible healthcare and/or dependent care expenses on a tax-free basis. This results in tax savings for employees and employers, which is why the plans are called tax-advantaged.

This sample session resolution and salary reduction agreement (presented as Word documents) are intended to assist employers that wish to establish and offer these plans. We recommend consulting with your tax adviser when adopting any tax-advantaged plan.
