Voluntary Benefits and the Rising Risk for Employers

Williams Mullen

In this episode of Williams Mullen's Benefits Companion, host Brydon DeWitt sits down with Amy Hollis, CEO of Employees First, for a candid and eye-opening conversation about voluntary benefits—an area with associated risk many employers offer but few truly understand. 

Brydon and Amy pull back the curtain on what actually happens to employees’ premium dollars once they leave the paycheck, why voluntary benefits often carry significantly higher broker commissions, and how these behind-the-scenes mechanics impact cost, value and transparency for employers and employees alike. 

Editor’s Note: Since this episode was recorded, a significant ERISA development has occurred. A brief postscript has been added to address the implications of recently filed litigation, underscoring the growing legal risk in this area.
