There are many types of insurance programs that are offered with a compensation & benefits package at places of employment. The programs that will be discussed are term life insurance, universal whole life insurance, accidental death & dismemberment, and long and short term disability insurance. These programs offer extra precautions for life disasters. For someone like myself I would rather pay for it and have the coverage instead of something spontaneous happening and not having the funds to go through life. We will dive into each form of insurance and the advantages they provide.

The Office of Disability Assistance helps Veterans, Servicemen, and their families with various services; such as, compensation services, pension and fiduciary services, insurance services, and benefits assistance services. Compensation services are designed to help deliver disability compensation. Disability Compensation is, “a tax-free monetary benefit paid to Veterans with disabilities that are the result of a disease or injury incurred or aggravated during active military service.” Pension and fiduciary provides services for wartime Veterans, survivors, and their families that face financial troubles. The pension and fiduciary services provide “supplemental income through Veterans Pension, Death Pension, and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation.” Benefits assistance services help ensure the quality and training of Veterans Benefit Administration employees who work with Veterans, Servicemembers, and their families. The Insurance Service is a program that gives “financial security and peace of mind for Service Members, Veterans, and their families” through life

300 was presented by Nevada Attorney for Injured Workers, Evan Beavers. The purpose of this bill is to require certain notices to the injured workers during a compensation complain that: “you claim is closing and what the consequences are” and “if the insurer wants to take the opportunity to send a separate letter saying ‘and here’s the date and time of your permanent impairment evaluation’”. The reason for this is “that once the claim closes for medical treatment, if the injured worker doesn’t appeal that within a certain period of time [70 days]”, they would be “time barred from ever appealing it again.” Under this new proposal, it would require a statement from the insurer that clear states the deadline and consequences in the aftermath of the

A number of changes to both state workers' compensation laws and the MSPA would eliminate the problems inherent in the current system. These solutions include modifying state workers' compensation laws to permit the parties to settle only the indemnity portion of the claim in states that do not already do so, applying the MSPA only to cases in which the primary payer is legally obligated to pay, instituting a safe-harbor threshold amount for settlements, creating a right of appeal from Medicare's rejection of a settlement proposal, and allowing claimant's to waive their rights to certain treatments under Medicare. Any one of these changes implemented on its own would be an improvement, but implementing all of them would create a much fairer system.

As presented previously, a captive reduces long-term costs and operating costs, provides investment income and profit which are only taxed when repatriated, provides for broader more stable coverage, direct re-insurance access, and fewer regulatory restrictions. The disadvantages include long-term capitalization commitment, internal administrative costs, potential for inadequate reserving, and complex taxation issues. Mercer’s management has not been inclined to form a captive therefore we will only recommend one if it becomes necessary in order to obtain reasonable renew terms. This may become more pressing since the market for large transportation risks has been shrinking. We are uncertain whether we will be able to find an insurance carrier willing to provide policies for the coverage required by Mercer without the use of a captive. An example of this would be the inability to obtain a primary Trucker’s Liability or Automobile Physical Damage quote on any basis other than pure

This overview goes into the benefits that are offered but not a detailed view of what is offered. Through the interview process with Acuity I learned Acuity contributed 8% to the 401k plan no matter the employees contribution. I was happy with the retirement benefit knowing 8% is going in to my 401k regardless of my contribution is a nice feeling. This plan puts an employee in good shape to contribute and have a good amount of money stored away for retirement. Acuity offers paid holidays with unlimited sick days that do not count against vacation. Starting January 2016 I will have 10 paid days off, I have a prorated 5 days off starting in June 2015. The salary is a little bit lower than my lofty goal, however knowing promotions are there for the taking that is something I can live with. Acuity offered me a very competitive $55,000 per year
