The type of benefits package offered to International Accountants employees is a(n): ________________ a) flexiplan. b) cafeteria-style benefits plan. c) democratic benefits package. d) open options benefits plan

Answer 1

The correct answer is b) cafeteria-style benefits plan.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cafeteria plan is a type of employee benefit plan offered in the United States in accordance with Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. Its name comes from the first plans that allowed employees to choose between different types of benefits, similar to a client's ability to choose from items available in a cafeteria. Qualified cafeteria plans are excluded from gross income.
