Staff One's Flexible Benefit Plan (Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code) allows employees to set aside money to pay eligible expenses with before-tax dollars, resulting in less taxes and more take-home pay. Employees can save 20 - 40% of their payroll deductions. The savings are on city, state, and federal income taxes, including Social Security and Medicare.
How does it work?
