HR Fast Facts: What Are Employer Fees for FSAs?
Carriers may charge employers a base annual servicing fee and a monthly fee per employee enrolled in a Medical and/or Dependent Care FSA.
Flexible spending account (FSA) plans are administered by the benefits carrier an employer chooses. Carriers usually charge employers a small fee per FSA participant for administration.
For example, below is an overview of employer FSA fees on Zenefits — an all-in-one HR, benefits, and payroll platform.
