EMPLOYER PAYROLL TAX SAVINGS

SIMERP Program for Employer Payroll Tax Savings

Your company pays employer payroll taxes every time payroll runs. But without the right benefit structure, you may be missing an opportunity to reduce part of that recurring expense while giving participating employees an additional wellness benefit. The SIMERP Program combines potential employer payroll tax savings with a supplemental medical wellness benefit for employees. It sits on top of your company’s existing health insurance, so you do not have to replace your current health plan or change insurance providers to explore the opportunity.

    Your Payroll May Contain a Savings Opportunity You Have Never Been Shown

    Payroll taxes are a recurring cost. They appear every time payroll runs, month after month and year after year. Most employers accept the entire expense as unavoidable. They continue paying without knowing that a properly structured employee wellness program may create an opportunity for employer payroll tax savings. That means the company may be missing money through an expense it is already paying. The larger the participating workforce, the more meaningful the opportunity may become. But until the employer learns about the program, the savings remain invisible. Highlighted Statement You already have the employees. You already run the payroll. You may be missing the program that turns part of that recurring expense into an opportunity.

    What Is the SIMERP Program?

    SIMERP stands for Self-Insured Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan. SIMRP is also commonly used for Self-Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan. The SIMERP Program combines a supplemental medical wellness benefit for participating employees with the potential for employer payroll tax savings. It is designed to add value on top of the company’s existing health insurance. Employers do not have to abandon their current health insurance program simply to explore SIMERP.

    Keep Your Health Insurance. Add the SIMERP Wellness Program on Top.

    One of the biggest concerns employers have when considering a new employee benefit is whether they will need to replace their current health insurance. With the Incenta Plus SIMERP Program, the answer is no. The SIMERP wellness program sits on top of the company’s existing health insurance program. It is a supplemental benefit—not a replacement for the employer’s current health plan.

    Prominent Checklist

    Keep your existing health insurance

    Keep your current health insurance provider

    Keep the health plan your employees already use

    Add a supplemental wellness benefit

    Explore potential employer payroll tax savings

    Create additional value without replacing the core insurance program

    No health insurance replacement. No need to discard the coverage your company already has. The SIMERP Program adds a new opportunity on top of it.

    Why Would an Employer Ignore an Opportunity Already Connected to Payroll?

    Every employer looks for ways to control expenses, protect margins and offer competitive benefits. Yet many businesses focus on cutting visible costs while overlooking the recurring expenses already embedded inside payroll. The SIMERP Program deserves attention because it may address two business priorities at the same time:

    Potentially reducing employer payroll tax expenses

    Providing participating employees with an additional wellness benefit

    This is not simply another expense added to the company’s budget. It is an opportunity to examine whether existing payroll dollars can create greater value for the business and its employees.

    What the SIMERP Program May Mean for Employers

    Potential Payroll Tax Savings

    Qualifying employers may reduce certain payroll-tax expenses associated with participating employees.

    Up to $640 Per Participant

    The program may create up to $640 in potential annual employer savings per participating employee, depending on the company’s circumstances and program structure.

    Savings That Grow With Participation

    As employee participation increases, the employer’s total potential savings may also increase.

    More Value From Payroll

    The program may create additional financial value from payroll expenses the company is already incurring.

    An Additional Employee Benefit

    The company can introduce a supplemental wellness benefit without replacing its existing health insurance program.

    A Stronger Benefits Story

    An additional wellness benefit may make the company’s overall employee-benefit package more valuable and competitive.

    A Program That Creates Value Beyond the Employer’s Savings

    The SIMERP Program is also designed to provide participating employees with access to a supplemental medical wellness benefit. Depending on eligibility and the program terms, participating employees may receive additional value connected to qualified medical and wellness needs.

    Prominent Checklist

    Supplemental medical wellness benefits

    Additional value beyond existing health insurance

    No need to give up current health coverage

    A benefit connected to health and wellness

    A more comprehensive employee-benefit experience

    The employer may gain a payroll savings opportunity while employees gain an additional wellness benefit on top of their existing health insurance.

    What Happens When an Employer Never Explores SIMERP?

    The company continues running payroll. Employer payroll taxes continue being paid. The existing health insurance remains in place. But the additional wellness benefit and potential payroll savings opportunity may remain unused. The cost is not only what the company spends. It may also be the savings and employee value the company never captures. Callout Every payroll cycle without the program may represent another missed opportunity.

    Could the SIMERP Program Be Right for Your Company?

    The program may be worth exploring if your business:

    Employs W-2 workers

    Pays recurring employer payroll taxes

    Already offers health insurance

    Does not want to replace its current health plan

    Wants to add an employee wellness benefit

    Wants to explore employer FICA tax savings

    Has an established or growing workforce

    Wants to create more value from existing payroll expenses

    Is looking for benefits that support employees and the business

    Your company does not need to replace its existing health insurance to ask whether SIMERP could create additional value.
