Keeping good people
You can't afford raises. Your best people are looking anyway.
Somebody down the road is offering a dollar more an hour. You would match it if you could, but every raise costs you more than the raise itself.
“I was seriously looking to resign and pursue a career with a different company, but then [my employer] rolled out [this program]. I changed my mind and decided to stay here after seeing the new value in our benefits.”
Two ways to put $1,200 in an employee's pocket
| Give a raise | What I set up | |
|---|---|---|
| What they keep | Less than you gave. Taxes take their cut first. | About $1,200 more a year, on average. |
| What you pay | The raise, plus payroll tax on top of it. | Nothing extra. |
| Your payroll bill | Goes up. | Goes down, by about $640 per employee on average. |
| What else they get | Nothing. | Doctor visits and common medications at $0, for them and their family. |
What losing one good person really costs
First weeks
The job sits empty.
Everyone else covers, and the work you had planned for this month waits.
Next few months
The new hire is still learning.
You are paying full wages for half the output while they figure out how you do things.
After that
The next one leaves.
Good people talk. When one goes for a dollar more, the others start doing the math.

You can give them more without paying more.
I'm Jaslyn. I help owners put more take-home pay and real health benefits in their employees' hands without raising payroll.
Your costs don't go up, and your payroll bill actually comes down.

Fair questions
Does anyone's pay go down?
No. Gross pay stays exactly where it is. What changes is how much of it they get to keep.
What if some employees don't want it?
That is their choice, and most say yes. Typically 85 to 90 percent of employees take part.
Do my employees have to do anything?
One simple health activity a year. They get reminders, so it doesn't slip through the cracks.
How much of my time does this take?
About 3 to 5 hours in total. Enrollment and setup are handled for you, and after that it runs along with payroll.
