For those that do not have benefits through your employer, do any of you purchase benefits from a company?


Let me know if you do, if so, where? how much? etc.

I think I pay like $4 a paycheck and it's a comprehensive coverage plan.
(dental, eye, medical, etc)

Gallagher

thats through the company tho, no?

szuberi

$4 a paycheck would cover nothing these days. you better check the details

viper_2_4

Ya, thats probably just an option things...

I think there are a variety of companies that 'sell benefits'...I think Green Shield is one (I might be wrong, going from memory)..

I'm also interested if anyone has any experience...

or sunlife

the only deduction i see on my pay that might have something to do with benefits is $7 a cheque and i have full coverage

zyepher

No it's not.

The actual charge is like $33 a cheque but the company pays like $28.63 or something.

I've already used the dental/health stuff already.

full benefits ftw!

viper_2_4

I don't think thats the same as what the OP was referring to...also I doubt you could get that kind of 'benefit rate' as an individual...

shlammed

you found a job?

viper_2_4

Ferrari FTW!

[/obvious statements]

but ya, full benefits are great if you can get them in your line of work

Gallagher

does anyone use these companies that people are referring me to?

viper_2_4
