Capital Insurance Group: Offering You A Wide Range of HR Services
Small and midsized businesses are increasingly recognizing the growing challenge of complying with complex, rapidly evolving HR laws and employment laws, including the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), the Family Medical & Leave Act (FMLA), and others. With employee litigation — and compensatory awards — on the rise, companies face major potential legal liabilities if they fail to comply with human resource and employment laws, rules and regulations.
How big is the risk? Statistics compiled by Jury Verdict Research indicate that employment lawsuits have risen 400% in the last 20 years, with the average compensatory reward in federal employment cases now exceeding $490,000.
Capital Insurance Group can support your Human Resource Department including compliance with new mandates and determining how Health Care Reform will affect you moving forward. We have dedicated service representatives who are only a phone call away to field your and your employee questions.
