Presented by: Michael Sapp on behalf of Charlotte Payroll
Hosted by: Cornelius Chamber of Commerce

Event Overview

Join us for an engaging professional development session designed to help local employers and HR professionals understand one of today’s most innovative wellness and tax-savings strategies — the Wellness and Integrated Medical Plan Expense Reimbursement (WIMPER) Program.

The WIMPER Program, developed by 1st Capital Financial, integrates wellness and health benefits under Sections 105, 106, and 125 of the Internal Revenue Code to provide immediate payroll savings for employers while offering enhanced health and wellness benefits to employees — all at zero net cost.

Michael Sapp, representing Charlotte Payroll, will walk attendees through how this program works, who qualifies, and how organizations are achieving measurable results — including:

8–15% savings on total healthcare spending

Up to $900 per employee per year in payroll tax reductions

30% lower workers’ compensation costs

Higher employee engagement, retention, and wellness participation
