Loss of Income due to Death

In an attempt to reduce losses due to death, UPC offers life insurance to eligible
employees through American Family Life Assurance Company (AFLAC). This plan is on a
voluntary basis, fully insured, and is rated A+ from A.M. Best. An employee is eligible if they
work 30 or more hours each week and has satisfied the 90 day waiting period. An eligible
dependent is defined by a lawful spouse, natural born or legally adopted child, and stepchild,
child who lives with the employee in a regular parent-child relationship, grandchild, and
domestic partner. The life insurance provides eligible employees with an insured amount of
$10,000 to $300,000 in $10,000 increments. The amount of life insurance for employee limited
to no more than 5 times an employees salary. Eligible dependent spouse can also obtain life
insurance of $5,000 to $50,000 in $5,000 increments. The amount of life insurance for dependent
spouse is limited to no more than 50% of their life insurance benefit. Furthermore, eligible
dependent children (age 14 to 21 years25 years if full-time student) can obtain life insurance
of $2,000 to $10,000 in $1,000 increments. The amount of life insurance for dependent child is
also subject to a limit of no more than 50% of their life insurance benefit.
Through AFLACs life insurance, those who do not have evidence of insurability are
allowed to enroll into the life insurance through guarantee issue. Eligible employees, dependant
spouse, and dependent child above can obtain a maximum of $50,000, $25,000, and all

Loss of Income due to Unemployment
Unemployment
Universal Printing Company offers a severance package to eligible employees that leave
employment due to loss of job, employees seeking other employment opportunity, or layoffs.
Along with the severance package, employees are also eligible for social unemployment
insurance opportunities.
Loss of Income due to Retirement
Retirement Plan: 401(K) plan
Universal Printing Company offers its employees an opportunity to save for retirement
with a 401(K) retirement plan through Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC).
Employees who choose to participate in the 401(K) must meet eligibility requirements. An
eligible employee is defined as someone who has completed one year of service and attained the
age of 21. The one year requirement is completed if an employee is credited 1,000 hours of
service within the first 12 months of employment. Those who do not meet this requirement in the
first 12 months can satisfy this requirement at the end of any plan year during which they fulfill
the 1,000 hours of service. Elective deferral contributions can be made to the 401(K) in two
ways. First, pre-tax deferrals give participants the opportunity to use pre-tax money to contribute
into the 401(K) plan, which would be later taxed when money is withdrawn from the 401(K).
-

10/22
Page 10 of22
Secondly, Roth deferrals allow participants to have a tax reduction before money is invested into
the 401(K), but will not be taxed when withdrawn.
Employees are always 100% vested and therefore entitled to investments made into the
401(K). Through the safe harbor matching contribution, UPC will match 100% of contributions
that a participant contributes into the 401(K) that do not exceed 4% of an employees
compensation. However, deferral contributions cannot exceed $15,500 as it is restricted by law.
Employees also have access to rollover contributions into their current 401(K) plan.
Previous retirement savings and other individual retirement accounts (IRA) can be transferred
into the current 401(K), but must be rolled over within 60 days of receiving the distributions.
More importantly, roll over contributions are also 100% vested for the employees.
Participants who are 50 years of age, or will be by the end of the year, have the
opportunity to invest an additional $5,000 into their 401(K) called the catch-up contribution.
This 401(K) also gives participants the opportunity to take out a maximum of one loan that is no
less than $1,000 but no more than $50,000. In addition, a loan cannot be more than 50% of a
participants non-forfeitable balance.
Employees are always 100% vested in all plan accounts and therefore entitled to all the
contributions in the 401(K) when they reach the retirement age of 65. Money can be withdrawn
at an earlier time by an employee in the event of financial hardship, termination of employment,
or upon death. However, employees have the option to delay distribution, but are subject to
regulations such as a minimum distribution from the plan.

Work Life BenefitsUniversal Printing Company understands that employees have a life outside of work.
UPC respects the individual, not just the employee. To make life easier for the employee, UPC
owns a 200 car parking lot attached to the premises. An on-site gym is available that employees
have access to 7 days a week. To encourage healthy eating habits, fresh fruit is provided daily.
Employees have phone access to professional counselors, working around the clock to assist
employees that are trying to quit smoking or drinking, also a life couch is available. These types
of extra benefits make UPC employees feel welcomed and respected.

Part III: Analysis of Decision Making and Plan Design
Overall Design Considerations and Objectives in Offering Employee Benefitsin General
The Universal Printing Companys fundamental principle is that success is derived from
a strong employee relationship which helps motivate employees to excel. In order to continue
and maintain growth, UPC emphasizes the importance of providing benefits that fit the needs of
its employees. With that in mind, UPC provides full-time employees and their dependants with a
wide range of coverage, such as medical expenses (HMO/PPO and dental), vision, prescription
drugs, severance package, and retirement plans. Remaining competitive has also been a priority
for UPC as it continues to restructure its benefits plans to fit the needs of its employees. UPC has
built affordable plans that are close, if not better than its competitors. UPC wants to do more
than keep their employees on the payroll. We treat our employees like gold, said CEO Margi
McGrath. UPC understands the value of their employees and treats them accordingly.
When UPC designed benefit plans, it takes in to consideration the needs of the
employees. "There are certain benefits good employees feel they must have," says Ray
Silverstein, founder of PRO, President's Resource Organization (The Basics). Providing benefits
that employees enjoy promotes morals and productivity, which brings success to the company.
Margi McGrath explained her employees as hardworking, blue collar Americans, many
do not maintain optimal health due to years smoking and drinking but they also do not run to the
doctor for minor issues, they are simple people with simple needs. The classifications of jobs at
-

Page 13 of22
UPC are machine operators, direct mail carriers, truck drivers, office staff, directors and
managers and executives. UPC has chosen a basic benefit plan design compared to larger
companies, with consideration that UPC has a low risk workforce.
Universal Printing Companys main focus is to provide employee satisfaction to reduce
stress and increase productivity. By benchmarking and analyzing utilization rates of benefits
used by employees, UPC is able to review and gauge the trend of benefits. Surveys and one-on-
one counseling are several ways that UPC can gather Intel needed to either restructure its plans
to accommodate its employees or to maintain its current plan. Once changes have been made,
UPC effectively communicates its reporting to its employees through handouts, meetings, and
open enrollment period. Direct feedback from employees plays an important role that shapes the
benefit plan it provides and must not be overlooked when implementing the benefits to be
offered. It is important to note that communication and teamwork is an intricate theme of the
company and commonality between employees.
Funding and financing is an important aspect of the plan design when the sizes of the
company and age distribution of the employees are taken into consideration. UPC is a fairly
small company with approximately 98 employees. Although the size of employees may seem
fairly large, one catastrophic accident could easily bankrupt the company under a self-insured
plan. UPC offers benefits that are fully insured rather than self-insured to reduce the chance of
insolvency. These benefits are also on a contributory basis. UPC contributes accordingly to
employees contributions to emphasize UPCs philosophy that employees success is UPCs
success.

UPC also focuses on saving money by avoiding coverage overlaps. Social insurance has
been increasing over the years allowing companies to forgo some coverage that is mandated by
the state and federal governments.
A majority of UPCs employees are in their healthy mid thirties which reduces the need
for UPC to provide comprehensive benefits. In an attempt to reduce cost and save money, UPC
has recently increased its deductible on its BlueCare HMO plan and BlueCare PPO plan. By
increasing the deductible of the HMO ($0 to $1,000) and the PPO ($500 to $1,500 for preferred
providers and $1,000 to $3,000 for non-preferred providers) UPC saved an estimate of nearly
$40,000.
Design of Health Benefits
Healthcare cost inflation is becoming one of the main issues in todays economy. With
careful consideration for the wellbeing of its employees, UPC recently increased deductible to
reduce the overall cost of premiums.
Universal Printing Company has always offered a choice for medical care between a
preferred provider organization and a health maintenance organization. Traditionally, the
original PPO carried a $500 deductible for services done by preferred providers and a $1,000
deductible if the participant were to go out of network. The original HMO had a $0 deductible.
Now, in order to minimize the cost of premiums, UPC made two slight but crucial changes to the
design of its health benefits. The changes were implemented on February 1, 2011 and will
continue until January 31, 2012. The first change increased the PPOs deductible to carry $1,500
-
8/2/2019 BRIAN HONG - Exposure Analysis for Universal Printing Company
15/22
Page 15 of22
for in-network care (as opposed to $500) and a $3,000 deductible for out-of-network care (as
opposed to $1,000). The second change implemented a $1,000 increase in deductible to the
HMO. By carrying a higher deductible, it has reduced premiums all across the board, benefiting
both UPC and its employees. CEO Margi McGrath said that, since the new plans have been
implemented, the company has saved over $40,000 on premium costs.
Raising the deductible can successfully reduce premiums but may cause frustration to
employees. To prevent this from happening, UPC agreed to share the cost with the employees
by contributing of the deductible for the employees enrolled in the PPO. UPC also contributes
75% of the deductible for the HMO. Participants of the PPO now pay their original deductible of
$500 ( * $1,500) for a preferred provider and$1,000 ( * $3,000) for non-preferred providers.
As stated above the current PPO deductible is $1,500/$3,000, which leaves UPC responsible for
the remaining $1,000 for the PPO preferred ($1,500 - $500) and $2,000 for the PPO non-
preferred ($3,000 - $1,000). Moreover, UPC agreed to pay $750 of the $1000 HMO deductible.
With the savings from the premium, UPC is able to offset the extra expenses incurred in
providing reduced deductibles and premiums to employees. However, by increasing the
deductible, UPC has lowered premiums but exposed itself to more risk.
The additional risk was deemed appropriate with careful consideration by Margi
McGrath who said we make decisions to put our employees in the best possible position so they
can perform at the highest level. This is a group effort to reduce premiums for everyone. Along
with a strong employer contribution to the deductibles, UPC also pays 75% of the premiums,
leaving the employees responsible for the remaining 25%. The structure of UPCs health benefits
is very favorable for the employee. UPC provides generous reductions in premium and
-
8/2/2019 BRIAN HONG - Exposure Analysis for Universal Printing Company
16/22
Page 16 of22
deductibles to give its employees an opportunity to afford their healthcare. This creates a level of
trust that adds to the companys employee-oriented business model.
Design of Other Types of Non-retirement Benefits
Work/Life benefits offered by UPC are a lost cost way to show your employees that you
care. The 27/4 substance abuse counselor and life couch prove that management is concerned
with lives of each employee. The on-site gym allows employees to stay fit and enhance work
performance. Convenient parking is an obvious attraction that makes everybodys day easier. Joe
Dwyer, CEO at Brill Street + Co. said that those fortunate employers who can afford to go the
extra mile for their workers can boost productivity and ultimately gain market share (Meyer 1).
More and more employers are realizing that the key to bring business to the next level is to treat
your employees on the next level.
ERISA
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is a federal law passed in 1974.
The law requires employers that offer retirement plans to abide by a specific level of standard.
UPC is subject to ERISA requirements; therefore it holds a fiduciary responsibility to act in the
best interest of its employees. It must file reporting requirements to the Department of Labor
and the Federal Government. Employers need to respond to participants concerns appropriately
and supply proper documentation on time. These are only a few requirements of ERISA and
UPC has been fortunate to have avoided any regulatory compliance issues, but it remains aware
and ready for action.
-
8/2/2019 BRIAN HONG - Exposure Analysis for Universal Printing Company
17/22
Page 17 of22
ERISA is a federal law that brings uniformity to qualified employer plans. ERISA pre-
empts state laws that either directly or indirectly regulate an ERISA plan. This can cause a grey
area of authority. An example is San Franciscos implementation of the program Healthy San
Francisco. It is a play or pay program, meaning the employer must make minimum healthcare
payments for its employees or pay into the Healthy San Francisco program. This program was
passed through an appellate court after a federal trial court failed to stop the program. The
Healthy San Francisco directly goes against what ERISA stands for, which is uniformity among
states and plans. From an employers perspective, ERISA and state law often becomes the
subject of debate. The controversy may someday lead to a change of requirements for employer-
run retirement plans, but as of now they are subject to abide by the Federal law. (Sorrell, 2)
COBRA and HIPPA
Most ERISA provisions relate to retirement plans but a small percentage relate to health
and welfare benefits. Two important amendments were passed relating to the Health and Welfare
Benefits. First is the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985 which allows employees
to keep and transfer their employer-sponsored group health benefit for a period of time while
changing employment. This puts extra responsibility on UPC to cooperate fully with the federal
law and avoid legal issues. Secondly, the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act
is designed to eliminate discrimination against individuals with pre-existing conditions and to
provide opportunities for those with pre-existing conditions to enroll into healthcare plan. One of
the main aspects of HIPAA is the confidentiality of medical history. HIPAA protects medical
information by restricting plans to look back no further than 6 months for pre-existing conditions
-
8/2/2019 BRIAN HONG - Exposure Analysis for Universal Printing Company
18/22
Page 18 of22
in determining the eligibility of a participant. Although HIPAA is intended to protect employees
that have pre-existing conditions, it leads to an adverse effect on UPC. With UPC rated by
community rating and the restrictions by HIPAA, UPC needs evaluate the amount of enrollees
into its current plan. Without careful consideration, adverse selection can arise when those who
are high risk enter into its plan increasing the premium of the plan and eventually forcing those
who are low risk to drop out.
Health Care Reform
UPC must be conscious of their plans grandfathered status. The altered HMO and PPO
were implemented February 1, 2011 which is after March 23, 2010 (date of reform enactment).
There is currently limited information on the details of changing a plan while remaining a
grandfathered status but it is something to be cautious about (Preparing, 2). If UPCs plan is
not considered grandfathered they may be subject to some important changes under health care
reform. One being every group health plan must offer preventive services for free. Another
provision allows every plan participant to choose their primary care provider within the network
(Jones, 2).
Conclusion
Universal Printing Company believes the key to success is derived from a strong
relationship with its employees. Maintaining good and healthy relationships help boost morale
and productivity which leads to success. Providing comprehensive benefit package to its
employees help the UPC attract and retain some of the most talented employees that has helped

bring tremendous success to its company. As a broker for UPC, we would strongly recommend
that disability insurance is set in place for the following year. Working around heavy machinery
creates an increased risk of a liability to arise. Furthermore, we recommend that supplemental
life insurance is also added onto your life insurance policy. Although life insurance is set at
$300,000, a catastrophic accident can easily cost over $300,000. Overall, we would just suggest
that the policy in place be maintained. It would be in the best interest of UPC to continue looking
for alternative insurance that might provide the same or better coverage for a cheaper price.
