Section 125 Memo
BCYF offers employees a Section 125 plan to pay qualified medical, dental, or dependent-care expenses on a pretax basis through its professional employer organization (PEO) Insperity. Due to delays in completing the paperwork for the Section 125 plan that was out of employees’ control, the PEO did not take the deductions from payroll checks until August 2022. BCYF will not require employees to pay the missed deductions, as the error was not due to employee actions.
