Fringe Benefits Trust
DirectAdvisors sponsors and administers The DirectAdvisors Trust, which is specially designed to serve construction companies engaged in public works.
We do not sell insurance or financial products. We work with your desired or existing benefit providers to maximize savings, ensure compliance with laws and contract terms and offer your employees tailored, valuable benefits, which may include:
- Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance
- Health savings accounts (HSA)
- Vacation and holiday pay (paid time off)
- Safety and apprentice training reimbursement
- Supplemental unemployment benefits
- Retirement plans
- Benefit funding during layoffs
Your company makes fringe benefit contributions to the Trust. We credit each of your employees’ individual accounts accordingly. Both you and your employees have access to our online portal and to regular statements to stay informed about contribution, payment and account status.
Our team stands behind our work.
