Benefits of outsourcing

As complexity around administration and compliance increases with ever-evolving leave laws, employers of all sizes are increasingly relying on outside resources to manage employee absences.

  • Maintain compliance and ease administrative responsibilities

    Staying compliant with ever-changing state and federal laws can be challenging and time consuming. Plus, there's a financial risk and legal implications of non-compliance. That's why more organizations are outsourcing.

  • Centralize the intake process

    Using a central portal for reporting both paid and unpaid leaves help to streamline administration, which can result in positive outcomes such as an improved employee experience, direct cost reduction, and higher return-to-work rates.

  • Integrate with disability insurance

    When you outsource administration of disability and other leave types, you can help ensure employees more easily receive all the benefits they're entitled to. Plus, with our best-in-case wellness offerings, often built right in to disability insurance, we can help some employees prevent a leave in the first place.
