Members receive a tax advantage from their HSA whether or not
contributions are made through payroll deduction or
independently.  Pre-tax contributions (through payroll
deduction)  A pre-tax contribution means the contribution amount
is automatically taken from the member's paycheck via payroll
deduction before income taxes are taken out. You, the employer,
must amend your Cafeteria Plan (Section 125 plan) to include HSA
contributions. Contact your Cafeteria Plan administrator to make
this change.  Non-payroll contributions  Members can make their
own contributions to an HSA using after-tax dollars if the
employer doesn't offer pre-tax deduction or if they would like
to make a contribution over and above their weekly automatic
deduction. Members who make their own contributions can take an
"above-the-line deduction" when calculating their income taxes.
This provides the same advantage as a pre-tax deduction.
