Benefits options for nonprofits
At PeopleKeep, our software allows you to administer two distinct types of benefits: health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) and employee stipends.
A powerful alternative to group health insurance made specifically for small employers.
A health benefit that enables employers to cover the individual insurance plans their employees choose.
A health benefit that employers can use to help employees with their out-of-pocket healthcare expenses.
Stipends for lifestyle benefits like wellness, professional development, and more.
Health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) for nonprofits
An HRA is an IRS-approved health benefit that enables employers to reimburse their W-2 employees tax-free for qualifying medical expenses such as health insurance premiums and other out-of-pocket expenses. Employers simply set a monthly allowance for their employees to use and approve their eligible expenses for reimbursement.
There are two types of HRAs that can be leveraged as alternatives to traditional group health insurance. The QSEHRA is specifically designed for organizations with fewer than 50 full-time equivalent employees (FTEs), while an ICHRA is an excellent option for nonprofits of all sizes.
Employers that offer a group plan can supplement it with a GCHRA to cover their employees' out-of-pocket expenses.
Complete cost control
Set a budget that works for your team and avoid any unexpected rate hikes
No minimum size requirements
Unlike many group policies, an HRA doesn't require you to meet a participation threshold
Personalization and flexibility
Employees can spend allowances the health policies, services, and products that work best for them
Tax-free reimbursements
Reimbursements are tax-free for employers and employees who have minimum essential coverage
Offer an HRA to your employees in three easy steps:
Step 1: Design your benefit & invite employees
Customize your benefit so it’s uniquely suited to your needs. You get to decide how much you want to offer employees each month, which expenses are eligible for reimbursement, and more.
Step 2: Employees make eligible medical purchases
Once your benefit is set up and you invite your employees, they can use their allowances. Eligible expenses can include anything listed under IRS Publication 502, though you can limit these items. Employees then submit proof of incurred expenses through our software.
Step 3: Review and approve expenses
Once employees submit their expenses and documentation, the PeopleKeep documentation review team experts will review your employees’ submissions for you. If it’s a qualified expense, you can reimburse your employee through payroll, check, cash, or bank transfer.A simple, affordable way to offer perks
Employee stipends, also known as perks or fringe benefits, are a sum of money provided to your employees for lifestyle benefits like health and wellness, professional development, remote work, and even one-time spot bonuses.
Because WorkPerks makes stipend benefits administration so easy and customizable, your possibilities are endless. As an accountable plan, WorkPerks helps you keep track of your stipend expenses and reimbursements to meet your plan design needs.
Benefits of employee stipends include:
- Manage all of your perks on one platform
- Employees can use allowances on any expenses they choose, without having to adhere to a list of approved vendors
- Offer inclusive benefits that all of your employees can enjoy, regardless of their location, work environment, or needs
- You can also offer benefits to your volunteers, independent contractors, and international workers
