Captain Contributor Avenges Workers Wronged by Poor Benefits Planning
By Caroline Hroncich at Employee Benefit Adviser
When disasters come knocking, Superman or Batman can help save the day. But when benefits problems are on the horizon, Captain Contributor is the superhero employees might want to turn to.
A former tax accountant turned superhero (his origin story involves toxic waste and rabid monkeys), Captain Contributor — joined by his sidekick, Betty the Benefactress — fly around helping employees by suggesting employer-sponsored benefits that can help them save money on their taxes.
Captain Contributor is a comic-book character created by benefits administration software company DataPath. The company created Captain Contributor comics two years ago for their clients as a way to make open enrollment a little more fun, says Bo Armstrong, chief marketing officer at DataPath.
