Large Employers (50+ Employees)

What One Degree Benefits Offers Businesses with 50+ Employees

As your organization grows beyond 50 employees, your responsibilities—and risks—change. You’re now navigating ACA compliance, complex HR challenges, and a more diverse workforce with broader needs. One Degree Benefits is your strategic partner, helping you stay compliant, competitive, and connected to your people.

Here’s how we support you:

ACA Compliance & Regulatory Navigation

Businesses with 50+ full-time equivalent employees are considered Applicable Large Employers (ALEs) and must:

  • Offer health coverage that meets ACA standards

  • Complete mandatory IRS filings (1094-C, 1095-C)

How We Help:

  • Set up ACA tracking and documentation systems

  • Integrate with your payroll or HRIS platforms

  • Provide ongoing guidance to help avoid costly penalties

Cost Containment Through Voluntary Benefits

We work with your existing group health plan—not against it—to reduce cost pressure and provide more complete protection:

  • Voluntary accident, disability, hospital indemnity, and critical illness plans

  • No direct employer cost but high perceived value to employees

  • Tax-saving structures like Section 125 to reduce FICA liability

Give employees more choices and keep your budget in check.

Neutral-Cost Enrollment Platforms & Technology Tools

We provide access to user-friendly digital enrollment platforms—at no cost to you—that simplify benefits administration and enhance the employee experience.

Our technology solutions help you:

  • Host open enrollment online or hybrid

  • Track participation and engagement

  • Deliver targeted communications and decision support tools

  • Educate staff through videos, plan comparisons, and digital guides

Whether you have a distributed workforce or multiple shifts, our platform ensures that everyone has equal access to the benefits conversation. We’ve also established strong relationships with leading benefits administration vendors—such as ADP, bswift, and more—so you can leverage trusted technology partners without extra cost or complexity.
