Claims and absence administration
For both SMEs and larger, more complex organisations, especially those with disparate HR or absence processes across multiple locations, administering policy claims can quickly create a major drain on resources.
Outsourcing the day-to-day administration of group income protection claims and absence management – from point of notification right through to conclusion – can save HR teams significant time and hassle.
What we offer:
- Income Protection claims administration
- Management of the claim – from point of notification to conclusion – on behalf of the HR team
- Support for absent employees and existing claimants
- Review and creation of bespoke employee communications
Saving you time, hassle and money
