Healthcare is expensive, especially in Massachusetts where rural access and seasonal employment create unique challenges. Your employees feel it every time they visit the doctor or pick up a prescription. An HSA gives them a smart way to pay for medical costs with pre-tax dollars.

Here's what makes our HSA solution different for Massachusetts retailers:

  • It connects directly to their 401k. Your employees see both accounts in one place. No jumping between websites or trying to remember multiple passwords.
  • The investment options match. We mirror the same mutual funds from your 401k plan inside the HSA. Your team already knows these options, so there's no confusion.
  • We support the Retail Association of Massachusetts. For every plan, we contribute $250 to the Retail Association of Massachusetts. It's our way of supporting the retail community that supports us.
  • Setup happens fast. Within 5 business days, we schedule your implementation call and complete admin setup. Debit cards arrive in about 4 weeks.

Four Account Types, One Simple Card

Our smart card technology makes it easy for Massachusetts retail employees to access their healthcare dollars. Here's what we offer:

  • Health Savings Account (HSA)

    This is the big one. Employees can use it for immediate medical expenses or invest it for retirement. The money grows tax-free and never expires. It's like a retirement account specifically for healthcare—perfect for Massachusetts workers planning for the future.

  • Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

    Employees fund this account through payroll deductions. They need to use the money within the year, which makes it perfect for predictable expenses like glasses or dental work. We also offer a dependent care option for childcare costs—a big help for working parents in Massachusetts retail sector.

  • Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)

    You fund this account as the employer. It's a great way to help employees with out-of-pocket costs. You decide if unused money rolls over to the next year. Some Massachusetts businesses use HRAs as rewards for wellness programs or to help seasonal workers.

  • Qualified Transportation Account (QTA)

    This helps employees pay for commuting costs like parking or public transit. The money comes from their paycheck pre-tax, which saves them money on every commute—whether they're driving to Portland or taking the bus in Bangor.

    The smart card knows which account to pull from first, so your employees don't have to think about it.

A Website That Actually Helps People

Most benefits websites are confusing. Ours isn't. We built it to answer questions and make tasks simple for busy retail workers.

Works Alone or With Your 401k

Take Care of Your Massachusetts ine Retail Team Without Breaking the Bank

Good employees have choices, and healthcare benefits matter when they're picking where to work. In Massachusetts tight labor market, you can't afford to lose talented people to competitors who offer more. The cost of constantly hiring and training replacements adds up quickly—especially during busy tourist seasons.

For a small monthly investment, an HSA shows your team you care about their wellbeing and gives them a real tool to handle medical costs and build financial security. You built your retail business by taking care of customers—now it's time to take care of the people who make it all happen.

Retail401K makes it affordable and simple. We handle the paperwork, provide the education, and answer the questions while you get the credit for offering a benefit that actually helps. Plus, every plan supports the Retail Association of Massachusetts, strengthening the community that supports your business.
