Comment on: Blog Post 'Is Health Insurance Holding You Back from Getting the Best Employees?': slice it, a total compensation package can be much more valuable to the employee than receiving employer offered benefits. Keep in mind most companies don't offer an increase in pay equal to the cost of the benefits, if they chose not to accept the benefits. So, looking at a total comp package can really make a difference. For example: $50k base, plus company paid benefits, two weeks vacation, 12 paid holidays, 3% contribution to 401(k) vs. annual salary of $95k with no paid time off, you pay your own benefits, and contribute to your own IRA. Ask yourself, who do you want controlling how your income is spent? You or your employer? Who would you like to pick your benefit plan, you or your employer? Some people would prefer not to disclose any medical needs/wants, future family issues, etc, and would rather not participate in the company benefit plan. Too much big brother. People make these blanket statements based on their own prejudices. When you work in an area that was predominately union, and for a good number of years, a solid benefit package is almost a given. Throw in the last decade or longer of being downsized and losing your benefits (more than once) and you're apt to change your mind on where the control should lie.…; Added by Linda Ferrante at 5:16pm on May 22, 2014
