Experienced Tennessee Employee Benefits Attorney

Employee benefits, also called fringe benefits, is an umbrella term that encompasses several facets related to employment, including insurance programs, fully compensated absences, stock ownership plans, pensions, and employer-provided services provided by an employer to employees in Nashville Tennessee. These include bonuses, profit sharing, and the provision of a leased vehicle or housing. All "fringes" are by definition offered at the employer's option; thus employer contributions to Social Security, Medicaid, basic Medicare, Workers' Compensation, and other programs are not viewed as fringe benefits; they are required under law.

Certain categories of employee benefits may require that the employee pay a part of the cost of the benefit to receive the employer's contribution. For this reason, employees who have access to benefits outnumber employees who participate in the benefits offered. Young employees, for instance, may opt out of retirement programs. An employee may choose not to participate in a medical insurance program because he or she may already be covered by the spouse's participation in a family program elsewhere.

An experienced Nashville employee benefits lawyer is knowledgeable in understanding the details, facts, complications, and circumstances that arise in an employee benefits case.
