Don’t know what to do about rising healthcare costs?
We are all aware of the rising costs of healthcare for employers and employees. Many of you have asked PBS for referrals to help you save money in this area. We have been talking to many vendors in the marketplace and would be glad to help you talk to someone about different healthcare options.
A few possible cost-saving options to consider include offering your employees the option of individual healthcare insurance, high deductible plans or Section 125 health savings plans.
If you wish to speak with a licensed professional and trusted partner of PBS, contact PBS Director of Business Development, Anna Kathryn Ellis, at aellis@pbspay.com or 271-5407.

Want to Uncover Available
Tax Credits?
PBS is always looking for additional services to provide to our clients.
We recently partnered with TaxBreak, a company which specializes in identifying tax credits. These credits are such a narrow part of tax laws that the majority of businesses are unaware of all the credits available.
TaxBreak has recovered more than $30 million in tax credits for its clients in 2008. The value of the credits varies depending on the type of credit, but you can earn up to $9,000 per employee, which is a DIRECT reduction to your company’s tax liability.
To find out if your company has undiscovered tax credits, contact George Shamblin at TaxBreak.
