Who Uses the HELPLINE?
Insureds who use the HELPLINE range in size from small organizations with under 10 employees to medium-
sized organizations with human resource departments all the way to large organizations with in-house legal
resources and many employees. Access to the attorneys for initial guidance or second opinions is always
unlimited and included in the E-Risk EPL HELPLINE.
Primary employer questions are typically "crisis" situations requiring immediate attention. The HELPLINE
attorneys will provide documented advice no later than the end of the next business day to support insureds in
these situations. Beyond these types of issues, we encourage users to be proactive and ask questions before
problems arise. By using the HELPLINE for advice and counsel, insureds can save thousands of dollars in legal
fees!
Large, or small, or somewhere in between, insureds can use the E-Risk EPL HELPLINE as often as they have
questions.
Why small organizations?
Small employers typically don' t have HR expertise on staff and need somewhere to turn for initial
guidance
What about a mid-size organization?
Busy HR professionals use HELPLINE to save time and get a legal (second) opinion
Large organizations, too?
Yes! HELPLINE' s attorneys are specialized in the field of Employment & Labor Law so even when an
organization has HR expertise and their own General Counsel on staff the E-Risk EPL HELPLINE
allows for time savings and gives second opinions in this specific area of law.
