Integrated Leave Management:
What happens when an employee and her doctor attribute a disability to the work environment?
See how Work & Well’s truly integrated leave management services resolve the situation quickly
and cost-effectively.
Patterns of FMLA Abuse: Detecting FMLA abuses can be difficult, especially when
it involves part-time workers. Work & Well pays close attention to all medical information,
looking for patterns that might normally go undetected. Here's an example.
Intermittent FMLA Abuse: FMLA abusers often bundle conditions together - some of them questionable -
to get more intermittent time off. Work & Well prevents this by scrutinizing all medical information
and getting the necessary documentation. Here’s an example.
Ending Malingering: Left unchecked, malingering employees will take advantage of poorly defined
STD guidelines. This can lead to plummeting morale and skyrocketing costs. Here’s how
Work & Well helped one company significantly reduce its short-term disability leaves.
Enabling Physician: Physicians and mental health professionals can sometimes be overly sympathetic
to a patient’s work issues. Fearing lawsuits, employers are often hesitant to press the issue.
Work & Well’s case managers can see through such situations and take firm but justifiable action.
Pregnancy Complications: Routine pregnancy leaves can evolve into complicated cases,
sometimes involving the mother’s mental health. These incredibly delicate situations are best
handled by the leave management professionals at Work & Well. Here's a case in point.
Permanent Accommodation Request: How should a company react when an employee, citing medical
reasons, asks for special accommodation? Call Work & Well. As this case demonstrates, we’ll do
the due diligence necessary to determine if the reasons are valid.
