All division winners are now eligible to compete for two grand prizes, one in the “less than 25 million annual miles” category and one in the “25 million or more annual miles” category. To win the grand prize, companies will be judged on their overall safety programs, both on- and off-highway, including employee driver/independent contractor selection procedures, training, supervision, accident investigation, inspection and maintenance of equipment, and outside activities including general highway safety.

As with the division winners, the two grand prize winning companies will be honored at an awards ceremony to be held first during TCA’s Annual Convention and then again during TCA’s Safety & Security Division Annual Meeting.

Zane Benefits Publishes New Information on Small Businesses Giving Raises For Health Insurance










Park City, Utah (PRWEB) January 09, 2014

Today, Zane Benefits, the #1 Online Health Benefits Solution, published new information on small businesses giving raises for health insurance.

According to Zane Benefits’ website, many small businesses who do not offer health benefits consider giving employees a raise or salary bonus to help them pay for their individual health insurance. That’s because small businesses wants to offer health benefits to take care of employees and to help with recruiting and retention, but they cannot afford group health insurance, they cannot meet minimum participation requirements of a group health insurance plan, and/or they do not know about small businesses health insurance alternatives such as Section 105 defined contribution allowances.

According to Zane Benefits’ website, providing raises or salary bonuses to employees may seem cheaper and simpler than reimbursing health insurance premiums through Section 105 defined contribution allowances. But, there is one major consideration favoring Section 105 defined contribution allowances for small businesses: tax savings.

By offering Section 105 defined contribution allowances instead of giving raises to employees for health insurance, both the small business and employees save money.
