How Flex Works

What Is a Flexible Benefit Plan?

Instead of one-size-fits-all coverage, a flex plan gives each employee a benefits budget and lets them allocate it across the options that matter most to them. Your 25-year-old developer and your 55-year-old VP get completely different packages — from the same employer budget.

Traditional Plan

  • Same coverage for everyone
  • Wasted dollars on unused benefits
  • No employee voice in plan design
  • One-size-fits-all approach

Flex Plan

  • Employees choose their coverage level
  • Unused credits go to HSA, WSA, or RRSP
  • Vacation buy/sell options
  • Higher satisfaction, same employer budget

Everything Your Employees Can Choose

Each employee gets a credit budget and allocates it across a wide range of options — from coverage tiers and spending accounts to vacation days and retirement savings.

Cafeteria-Style Benefits

Employees choose their dental, health, drug, and vision coverage levels through Canada's top carriers. Everyone gets what they actually need.

Employees rate cafeteria-style benefits 40% higher in satisfaction surveys.

Tiered Plan Options

Basic, Standard, and Premium tiers with upgrade-at-cost. Employees pick the level that fits their life stage and family situation.

From new graduates to executives — every life stage covered.

HSA & WSA Accounts

Tax-advantaged Health Spending and Wellness Spending Accounts for remaining benefit dollars. Maximum flexibility, minimum waste.

Every dollar works harder with tax-advantaged spending.

RRSP Credit Allocation

Employees can redirect unused benefit credits to their Group RRSP. Benefits dollars that would otherwise go unspent now build retirement savings.

Unused credits build retirement savings instead of disappearing.

Vacation Buy/Sell

Purchase additional vacation days or sell unused ones back. Employees with young families buy extra time off; others take the cash.

Flexibility that extends beyond health coverage.

Hour Banking & Hourly Eligibility

Benefits eligibility based on hours worked, with hour banking for seasonal and variable workforces. Built for construction, trades, and shift-based industries.

Purpose-built for variable and seasonal workforces.

How It Works

From discovery to go-live, we handle the heavy lifting so your HR team can focus on people, not paperwork.

1

Employer Sets the Budget

You define the total benefit budget per employee class. Flex credits are allocated based on your compensation strategy.

2

Employee Customises Coverage

Each employee selects their coverage levels, allocates credits to HSA/WSA or RRSP, and chooses vacation buy/sell options through the platform.

3

Baicorp Administers Everything

We handle enrolment, carrier coordination, claims administration, and year-round support. One team, one bill, total visibility.

Who Flex Plans Are For

Mid-Market Employers

50 to 500 employees. Big enough to offer choice, but need a partner to administer it properly.

Construction & Seasonal Workforces

Hour banking and hourly-based eligibility designed for variable workforces — trades, seasonal, shift-based industries.

Multi-Generational Teams

A 25-year-old single developer and a 55-year-old VP with a family need completely different benefits. Flex makes both happy.
