Employer Update

December has a way of stretching budgets—sometimes to the breaking point. To help employees reduce financial stress, point them to these myVRS Financial Wellness tips for the holiday season.

Share this infographic, which offers smart money tips for staying financially sound during the holiday season:

• Create a budget that accommodates additional holiday expenses and the source of the cash to pay for them.
• Track your holiday expenses, and after each purchase, pay attention to the money remaining in your budget.
• Spend wisely by using coupons, shopping sales or creating a DIY gift.
• Avoid holiday scams when cybershopping by using only secure sites. Look for the padlock symbol in your browser’s URL window.

To further increase their money-management skills, remind employees to sign in to myVRS and take the Financial Wellness Checkup. Once they do, they’ll get customized resources and recommendations to help them through the holidays and year-round.
