The company I work for is based in the US and has a small office in Dublin we are currently paid through an employment agency but that will be changing in the near future, I have been asked to assist in putting in place an Employee Benefits Program
Does anyone have any experience in this?
We have requested the following
Healthcare
Pension
Bike to Work Scheme
Taxsaver Scheme
Annual Leave increasing in increments
What others should we be looking for, what do you offer/receive?
The American company is a little naive - they wanted to offer us 10 days annual leave per year and the very generous 12 weeks maternity benefit! Over and about what is legally required in America apparently.
I know they are heavy on insurance plans in the states a separate dental plan for example is offered as well as healthcare.
I have requested a copy of the employee handbook be sent over so I can read it and try to get a comparable offering for the staff here.
So some specific questions -
1 - What do you offer/receive?
2 - Any exclusion periods that I should consider, benefit kicks in after 6 months service that sort of thing
Specifically to those who offer/administer such programs
1 - How do you chose for example which healthcare plan,
2 - How do you decide the value offered to employees, is the MD given the same value as the junior?
3 - Should it be extended to include family members?
4 - Do employees get offered a choice of providers?
Any and all information and opinions gratefully received!
