Per-Pay-Period Plan Costs
The total amount that you pay for your benefits coverage depends on the plans you choose, how many dependents you cover, and for medical coverage, how much you earn. Your healthcare costs are deducted from your pay on a pre-tax basis — before federal, state, and Social Security taxes are calculated — so you pay less in taxes.
Domestic Partner Coverage
Please note that unless your domestic partner is your tax dependent as defined by the IRS, contributions for domestic partner coverage must be made after-tax. Similarly, the company contribution toward coverage for your domestic partner and his/her dependents will be reported as taxable income on your W-2. Contact your tax advisor for more details on how this tax treatment applies to you. Notify Outten & Golden if your domestic partner is your tax dependent.
