Building a Stronger Benefits Package: A Closer Look at Ancillary Coverage in Texas

In today’s workplaces, a meaningful benefits package does more than meet the basics. It reflects how much you value the people who show up for your business each day. Ancillary benefits, often called voluntary benefits, give your team additional ways to protect themselves and their families when life takes an unexpected turn. At Rollo Insurance, we help Texas businesses make sense of these options so you can offer real value without overextending your budget.

What Ancillary Benefits Offer Your Team

Ancillary benefits are extra insurance plans that employees can choose based on their personal needs. These plans are usually paid for through payroll deductions and are designed to supplement core health coverage. Instead of a one-size-fits-all solution, they give employees the ability to customize their protection. Some may need additional coverage for their family, while others might want financial support in the case of an accident or illness. These benefits offer that kind of flexibility.
