Benefits Required by Law State and federal laws require that employers offer specific benefits to their employees, and the costs Of these benefits are high. Out of every dollar spent on compensation by U.S. companies, more than 30 cents go to benefits, and this share has grown over the past few decades. Employers who want to contain their labor costs must look closely at the cost of their employee benefits. The following case is about one such employer, who worries about the high cost of benefits and tries to analyze ways he might be able to lower these costs. Read the case below and answer the questions that follow. Hospital CEO Richard Weber was facing a difficult decision regarding employee benefits for the 1,200 doctors, nurses, and administrative staff working in his large health care center. The costs Of employee benefits had continued to grow and now accounted for a large percentage of the total compensation package at the hospital. Weber tried to review his options. Benefits were often used to attract potential employees to the hospital. In addition, Weber believed that the tax treatment of benefits was more valuable to employees than if he were to offer higher salaries, and he knew the hospital insurance rates were much lower than those the employees would be able to find on their own. Finally, state and federal laws required many of the benefits. He worried that if he changed the benefits package, he would have dissatisfied workers and increase the risk of losing talented employees. Weber knew that he could potentially reduce specialized programs such as the 16 paid hours per month he provided employees to do volunteer work, but he felt that those programs were valuable and enriched outreach to the surrounding community. The cost of benefitsjust kept growing, and Weber was stymied as to how to keep employee benefit costs at a manageable level. Which of the following is nota legally required benefit that Weber would have to continue to fund? Which Of the following is not a legally required benefit that Weber would have to continue to fund?
