Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) provide an incredible opportunity for employees to save up for future medical expenses while benefitting from tax advantages. Therefore, it’s natural to wonder whether a company can implement an HSA solely funded by employee contributions, and the clear answer is yes!

Key rules for employee-funded HSA accounts

Here are some key points to consider:

• Employees can contribute to their HSA through payroll deductions, which are made pre-tax, reducing their taxable income.
• Employers have the option to make contributions to their employees' HSAs as well, but this is not a requirement.
• If an employee leaves the company, they take their HSA with them, as it is owned by the individual.
• Employers can set up a group HSA for all employees to participate in, making it easier for everyone to access the benefits of the account.
