Definition: Almost all employers are legally required to provide certain benefits for employees. These include Medicare, Social Security, Workers' Compensation, and Federal and State unemployment insurance. Companies with 50 or more employees must also provide workers with unpaid family and medical leave benefit under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
Employers are not required to provide health insurance coverage to employees. Health insurance is typically a matter of agreement between an employer and employees.
