You get the benefits of being a full time employee – workers comp, unemployement insurance, payroll tax withholding and employer’s taxes paid, direct deposit, 401(k) savings — without being a full time employee. You get the best of both worlds, how great is that?

Help Me Work’s Employee Benefits include:

401(k) from Morgan Stanley (our 401(k) plan is not mandatory and you can contribute as little or as much as your budget allows up to 75% of your gross wages)

Flexible Spending Account (money is withdrawn from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis and used for qualified medical or dependent care expenses; you might know this as a “Cafeteria Plan”)

Steady paychecks on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule (depending on client contract)

Workers compensation insurance

Unemployment insurance (which is always nice to have between jobs)

Short-term disability coverage (California only right now)

Commercial, E&O and Professional Liability insurance

Payroll tax withholding, employers taxes paid, and payroll depositing per pay period (so you don’t get stuck paying Uncle Sam a huge tax bill at the end of the year)

Direct deposit (to help you avoid those pesky bank fees)
