Employers Hand Over Their Legal Responsibilities to Disabled Employees

Unfortunately, an overwhelming majority of employers look for somebody or some organization to hand over their legal responsibilities too. Instead of taking responsibility for managing their lost time cases, return to work issues or employees on short term disability, many employers find groups like  “Custom Disability Solutions” and “The Regroup” who offer services to make it easy for employers to evade their responsibility.

Leed Management Administration Services, in my opinion, work with human resources departments by providing alleged guidelines and analytics to help employers manage their short and long-term disability need claims.

Organizations like The Regroup have developed pinnacle models that attempt to predict return to work periods for medical conditions. Interestingly enough, these guidelines often conflict with return to work criteria and factors recognized by organizations such as the American Academy of Orthopedics.

In trusting return to work and short term/long term disability management, quite frankly, does not make, in my view, good business sense. Employers should learn to administer leave on a consistent and focused manner and make sure that they thoroughly understand the Family Medical Leave Act: The Integration of Family Medical Leave which works with Long Term Disability carriers coverage so that they can partner with their employees in designing return to work criteria to meet the specific individual needs of the employer and their employees.
