What is Flexible Benefits (Cafeteria Plan)?

An employer-sponsored benefits program that lets employees choose from a menu of pre-tax benefit options, allocating a fixed employer contribution across the benefits they value most.

Why it matters in hiring

Flexible Benefits (Cafeteria Plan) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
