COBRA Administration
Your personal COBRA Coordinator sends all necessary letters and notifications, provides a monthly activity report and online access to your account, and collects premium payments from the COBRA-enrolled beneficiaries.
Insurance
Our affordable and flexible plans allow you to offer a complete medical, dental, vision, life and disability package that will save time and money while reducing the hassles of offering employee benefit plans.
Payroll & HR Solutions
Our partner, Ahola, connects you with isolved – the comprehensive solution that truly consolidates your payroll, HR, time and benefits enrollment. By bringing the essential functions of payroll and HR together in a unified technology, Ahola simplifies your people management. All the critical functions are in one database so you no longer have to deal with exporting, importing or clunky integrations.
Premium Only Plan, FSA, HSA and HRA Administration
With the cost of health insurance continuing to rise, most employers ask their employees to share in the cost of health insurance through premium sharing, deductibles and co-insurance. With SBAM’s flexible benefit plan administration in place, both you and your employees save through tax-preferred methods.
Ask an Expert
When you join SBAM at a Premium level membership or higher, you gain access to our Ask An Expert web portal for answers to all your HR and Legal Questions. Our partners, American Society of Employers and Taylor English, are trusted experts that you can rely on for accurate, timely information.
Savings on Workers’ Compensation
SBAM’s Accident Fund program provides an upfront 5% premium discount, and the program is dividend eligible. Dividend eligibility simply means that if the comparison of our premiums earned versus claims paid falls into the right range, then you get money back. We’re pleased to tell you that our enrolled members are receiving a 2% dividend payment this year!
The discounted workers’ compensation rates and dividend program available through Accident Fund is a great example of how SBAM, and the buying power of our thousands of members from across Michigan, can benefit your company. The savings you receive are well above the amount you pay for the cost of an SBAM annual membership.
Pooled Employer Retirement Plan
Take a look at our Pooled Employed Retirement Plan powered by TAG Resources, Transamerica, and Graystone Consulting, a business of Morgan Stanley. The program is cost effective and outsources employer administration and liability. We’ve negotiated exclusive savings for our members including:
- Additional $500 annual credit for three years when a business establishes a retirement plan with automatic enrollment.
- No initial set up fees.
- Start up plans may be eligible for up to $5,000 tax credit to cover the TAG annual administrative fee (for 3 years).
