The Shield-365® Financial Model

A Smarter Financial Model for Workforce Safety & Wellness

Build a safer, healthier workforce—while potentially reducing your net investment.

Most organizations view workforce safety as another operating expense. First see what human error is costing you today—then see how the combined solution may offset nearly all of its own cost.

Much like major automotive manufacturers offer financing through trusted financial partners, Shield-365® works with 360 Advantage™—an independent employee benefit provider—to structure a self-funding path for workforce safety and wellness.

The Problem

The Hidden Cost of Human Error

Human error drives:

Injuries
Downtime
Quality Issues
Absenteeism
Turnover
Operational Inefficiencies

For many organizations, the cost of doing nothing may be far greater than the cost of implementing workforce safety.

But how much is it costing your organization? Run the diagnostic below.

Introducing 360 Advantage™USA only

Finally, a Government-Enabled Path to a Self-Funded Employee Wellness Program

A healthier employee can save your company, your employee, and the government money today and into the future. That is why 360 Advantage™ was created.

It is a clinically proven, IRS- and ACA-compliant, tax-structured self-funded employee wellness platform. Through a Section 125 Cafeteria Plan, a Self-Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan, and a Preventative Care Management Plan, you can offer proven wellness while saving both your business and your employees real dollars today.

Section 125 Cafeteria Plan

Pre-tax employee contributions, legally structured under IRC Section 125.

Self-Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan

A SIMRP under IRC Section 1.105-11 that reimburses participants post-tax.

Preventative Care Management Program©

A documented program under 42 U.S.C. 300gg-4(j)(3)(c).

Clinically Proven Digital Therapeutic

A wellness platform with 10+ years of clinical validation.

In plain terms: the government determined that a healthier employee today saves us all money in the future—so let's make the investment.

The Mechanics

How the 360 Advantage™ Model Works

The system converts a portion of taxable income into a pre-tax benefit contribution—reducing taxes for both the employee and the employer.

01

Employer Opts Into the Program

The 360 Advantage™ team establishes a Section 125 Cafeteria Plan, a Self-Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP), and a documented Preventative Care Management Plan for the business.

02

Employee Elects to Participate

Eligible employees — W-2, full-time (30+ hours), and covered under major medical — voluntarily enroll in the program.

03

Pre-Tax Contribution Is Applied

A program fee is applied pre-tax monthly, lowering the employee's taxable income. The business reimburses the fee post-tax through the SIMRP, which raises the employee's take-home pay.

04

Tax Savings Are Created

Because taxable income drops, both employees and employers save on federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and often state taxes.

05

The Program Funds Itself

The tax savings pay for the program — often leaving both the employee and the employer with net savings each month.

What if your workforce safety investment could potentially pay for itself?

For many qualified employers, the combined solution may significantly reduce the net investment required to implement Shield-365®, with some organizations potentially approaching a near net-zero investment within approximately 12 months.*
