YouDecide.com, Inc. ("YouDecide"), one of the nation's leaders in providing voluntary benefits to corporations and their employees, has recently enhanced its voluntary benefits platform by adding new products and providers, launching payroll deduction of auto and homeowners insurance premiums and introducing an enhanced website.

Payroll deduction is a tremendous benefit for employees of our corporate clients," said Rutland. "The availability(1) of payroll deduction makes it easier for employees to budget for their insurance premiums and less expensive because payment fees/finance charges are waived, while also eliminating potential late payments and the hassle of mailing checks."
