Employees benefit from their employers offering group coverage as they are able to secure valuable coverage at significantly lower rates than they would pay as individuals. Some benefits can even be paid for by using the employee using pre-taxed payroll deductions meaning employees will reduce their taxable income and see less taxes being taken out of each paycheck.
