  3. Problem: Affordable Health Insurance for Non-Exempt Employees of Convenience Store Operations

  4. Health Insurance Dilemma for Non-Exempt Employees • Price of Traditional Medical Insurance is reaching a point where it’s not affordable • Typically Non-Exempt Employees are either priced out of Traditional Coverage or excluded all together from their companies’ plans • Employees earning less than $15 per hour constitute more than 71% of all uninsured in the United States. (Source – Department of Labor)

  5. Employer Health Care Dilemma: Providing Health Care for Non-Exempt Employees • Cost of Providing Traditional Medical for Non-Exempt Employees is out of proportion with earnings • Turnover Rates for Non-Exempt Employees is typically between 100% and 150% per year • Competitive labor market environment for quality Non-Exempt Employees ◙ Larger corporations (i.e. McDonalds, Wal-Mart, Home Depot) offer some level of benefit

Types of Non-Traditional Health Insurance Plans for Non-Exempt Employees • Discount Plans – Featuring discounts on services such as prescriptions, doctor/hospital network discounts, and vision programs.  Typically not “insurance” plans. • Dreaded Disease and Catastrophic Plans – Featuring limited benefits for specific types of illnesses such as cancer or heart diseases. They are normally limited to specific types of illness and are not comprehensive. • Mini-Medical – Featuring fixed cost benefits with Plan Maximums typically $5,000 or $10,000 Annual Maximums. • Limited Medical Plans – Featuring higher fixed costs than Mini-Medical with Plan Maximums that start at $100,000 in Annual or Lifetime Benefits.
