HSA and FSA allow employees to put aside pre-tax income for eligible expenses. Employees are permitted to enroll in these plans each fall during Open Enrollment for a January 1 plan year start. The employee may determine how much money, if any, they want to set aside. All enrollment will be thru Paylocity and this program is administered by Aetna Meritain. You will use your Aetna Meritain site to manage your plan. You can see all contributions and debits via Paylocity Spending Accounts.
