What is the tethering program? Well, most people years ago called it the golden handcuffs. The new verbiage in today’s market is we call it tethering. This is where you do not want to lose your key employees. 

How does it work? Works like this. The employer is going to pay for a policy that provides a retirement package, living benefits, and death benefits for this key employee. They are also going to give them a loyalty match so they stay loyal they can have a personal policy because the regular policy is owned by the business owner. 

A typical length of time that a business owner pays for a tethered program is between five and ten years and then they turn it over to the employee is not covered if they have an untimely death they get out they get a personal policy with a loyalty match so when they retire they have dual coverage death benefit living benefits and retirement.
