Employee Assistance Programs
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are employee benefit programs offered by many employers, typically in conjunction with a health insurance plan. EAPs are intended to help employees deal with personal problems that might adversely impact their work performance, health, and well-being. EAPs generally include assessment, short-term counseling and referral services for employees and their household members. AstraAdvantage provides services that meet the needs of your employees. We anticipate and track workforce trends and develop services and solutions to respond to the ever-changing demands of the marketplace.

Workers’ Compensation Claims
Workers’ compensation provides insurance to cover medical care and compensation for employees who are injured in the course of employment, in exchange for mandatory relinquishment of the employee's right to sue their employer for the tort of negligence. Workers’ compensation laws vary from state to state. AstraAdvantage’s professionals can help your company to determine under which jurisdiction your company falls and what provisions can be made. This can include weekly payments in place of wages (functioning in this case as a form of disability insurance), compensation for economic loss (past and future), reimbursement or payment of medical and like expenses (functioning in this case as a form of health insurance), and benefits payable to the dependents of workers killed during employment (functioning in this case as a form of life insurance). 

Unemployment Claims
AstraAdvantage can help you to effectively moderate your unemployment claims and manage the impact they have on your organization and its bottom line. With the help of AstraAdvantage’s professional consultants, you can gain valuable insight on tax laws that may affect your business and learn how to document discharges to successfully protest allowance of a claim. We have modeled our claims process around the methodology that has proven over decades to generate the highest win ratios in this industry. Put simply, AstraAdvantage efficiently and effectively responds to each state’s unique requirements rather than forcing our methodology on them.

Regulatory Compliance
AstraAdvantage can help to ensure that your company is aware of and taking steps to comply with relevant laws and regulations i.e. HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, EEO-1 reporting, OFCCP requirements, FMLA, etc. Our team of professional consultants is always on hand to help guide you through the sometimes confusing and always changing regulatory compliance laws and regulations.
