Employee Benefits Are Protected by Law

Both federal and state legislation provide a variety of protections for employees. For example, wage and hour laws determine which employees must be paid hourly and receive overtime pay. The federal Family and Medical Leave Act and the Massachusetts Maternity Leave Act, protect employees when they need to take certain kinds of leave.

One of the most important employee benefits is disability insurance for those who find themselves injured and unable to work. You’re your income is decreased or non-existent, having financial assistance to cover your medical expenses and make up for lost wages can be the life preserver needed to save you from drowning in debt. Some of the most common sources of financial benefits following an injury include:

• Long-term and short-term disability insurance provided through an employer-purchased group "ERISA" plan
• Occupational disability insurance
• Workers' compensation
• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)

Unfortunately, obtaining the benefits you need is not as simple as it may seem. The claims process is governed by strict timelines and rigorous requirements submissions. Many claims are denied even though the application was completed correctly and on time, and filing an appeal will be necessary. Sometimes no appeal of a benefit denial is even available.
