Cafeteria plan 101

  • • A cafeteria plan is an employer-sponsored arrangement that allows employees to pay for certain types of benefits on a pretax basis through salary reduction.
  • • These plans can provide considerable flexibility to employers when designing a plan and to employees when choosing from the benefits offered under the plan.
  • • The key advantage of using a cafeteria plan is that the amount of salary reduction used to pay for qualifying benefits is excluded from the employee’s taxable income for federal tax purposes. The salary reduction amount is also excluded from wages for purposes of both the employer and employee shares of payroll taxes.
  • • In addition to being tax advantageous, cafeteria plans can help employers attract and retain talent. Employees today place great emphasis on having access to flexible benefits.
