Employment Risk

Starts With Decisions

Employee-related situations are rarely straightforward.

Without consistent rules or procedures and clear instructions in place, then the everyday routine HR decisions can:

  • Introduce extra risk —making different choices in similar situations without a standard process can lead to mistakes and risky outcomes.

  • Produce different results — because the decision-making process isn’t the same each time, the results may vary unpredictably, which can be unfair or inefficient.

Fewer claims start with better decisions. ePlace helps make HR decisions consistent and defensible.

Top Issues We’re Helping Employers Solve

Interference with Medical Leave Rights

An employer wanted to cancel health benefits for an employee who was off work due to a workers' comp injury.

Even though the employee was eligible and the absence qualified for CFRA/FMLA, the leave was not designated as mandated by law, which would have required maintenance of health benefits.

We provided the employer with CFRA/FMLA paperwork to send to the employee and a step-by-step timeline for the employer to follow.

Sexual Harassment Investigation

An employer received a sexual harassment complaint and needed to promptly investigate.

We provided our Investigation Toolkit with guidance on how to investigate and conduct interviews, template memos, and a confidential investigation report so the employer could thoroughly investigate the allegations and properly document.

Disability Discrimination

The employer wanted to terminate an employee who was on a FEHA/ADA leave of absence because the employee was unable to work due to a disability and had exhausted all paid time off.

We explained an employer's obligations under FEHA/ADA, provided disability certification forms, and discussed the interaction between FEHA/ADA and CFRA/FMLA.

Employment Risk Shows Up

In Every Organization

Organizations regularly navigate difficult situations like:

  • Changing employment laws and requirements
  • Employee leave and accommodations
  • Performance management and terminations
  • Workplace concerns and complaints
These situations involve nuanced legal considerations and require thoughtful handling, clear documentation, and a consistent approach across the organization.
