Eva, do you or anyone else on the list know what is
meant by "cafeteria-style" benefit plans? That
particular phrase is new to me.
Cafeteria plan is when each employee is allocated a certain amount of money. They then get to choose from a list of benefit plans which items they wish to pick for their benefits. For example, one of the items might be child care. If you have a child in day care, you may wish to select that item to use a portion of your money. If you don't have any children in day care, then naturally you would choose something of more benefit to your life style.
