Flexible Spending Account
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) helps employees pay for qualified expenses not covered by your company's benefit plans. As a pretax benefit, it's also a powerful tax savings tool. Participants designate a portion of their pretax salary to be deposited into the plan, effectively reducing their taxable income along with your company's social security (FICA) payroll tax liability.*
An FSA can be used to pay for medical, dental, and dependent care expenses, including co-payments, deductibles, and even some over-the-counter medications.
We can integrate your FSA with Paychex payroll to automate employees' pretax deductions. Learn more.
Paychex helps you establish and administer your company's FSA. We process claims twice a week, and provide the legal documentation, compliance testing, and status reports to keep employees' accounts running smoothly.
Optional services include:
- Direct deposit of reimbursement funds into employees' bank accounts.
- Check signing and mailing of reimbursement checks directly to employees' homes.
- A Paychex FSA Debit Card that can help increase employee enrollment and utilization.
Participants can submit expense claims through our secure website, or by mail, and have reimbursements made directly from their accounts. We also provide a toll-free FSA support line and an automated phone system for access to specific account information.
Our FSA plans include a POP. This plan allows participants to pay their health plan premiums on a pretax basis, while your company saves money on payroll taxes. Learn more.
