Savings and participation depend on employee eligibility, wages, enrollment and applicable fees. Legal opinions are subject to their stated facts and qualifications. Audit defense is legal-expense protection, subject to the defense agreement’s eligibility, limits and terms; it does not guarantee an IRS outcome or payment of assessed taxes.

A better outcome for both sides of the paycheck

Healthier Employees. Stronger Employer Economics.

Payroll tax reduction is about enrolling employees in a preventive health and wellness plan designed to educate and assist them in living healthier, longer lives. It does not replace any of your existing benefits.

Employer savings

Qualifying pre-tax benefit contributions reduce taxable payroll. Your company’s analysis shows the estimated employer savings after administration fees, employee by employee.

Employee benefits

Participants gain access to supplemental healthcare and wellness services, with take-home pay reviewed as part of enrollment and payroll administration.

A dual-premium structure

The pre-tax Services Component and after-tax Reward Component serve separate purposes. The program’s documents and legal opinion explain their treatment.
