About the position

We are seeking dedicated and detail-oriented individuals to join our team as Employee Success Associates. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for administering leaves of absence and ADA claims for multiple clients, ensuring compliance with federal and state leave laws. This role requires excellent customer service and communication skills, a willingness to learn and adapt, and the ability to coordinate effectively with various stakeholders. You will learn about Gold Standard service delivery while focusing primarily on the simplest leave types. In this position, you will administer a full workload of leaves of absence and ADA claims for multiple clients, per client policies, while adhering to federal and state leave law regulations. Leave administration includes confirming leave eligibility, reviewing medical documentation, communicating with healthcare providers, client employees, and members of the HR team, and confirming return-to-work. ADA administration involves engaging in the interactive discussion process on behalf of the client, documenting the process, seeking clarification as necessary, and acting as a resource for a client as they assess requests for accommodations on a case-by-case basis. You will provide excellent customer service by answering phones, responding to emails, and communicating effectively with clients' employees in a timely manner. This includes answering questions regarding leave entitlement, client policies, and benefits. Coordination with Claim Specialists is essential to ensure that employee claims are adjudicated timely and accurately. You will also draft and send letters to employees regarding leave entitlement, disability benefits, and/or the interactive discussion process. When applicable, you will initiate return-to-work accommodations while adhering to relevant federal regulations. Maintaining high-quality employee leave and ADA files according to set standards and naming conventions is crucial. You should be able to take on additional work with short notice and coordinate between short-term disability insurance carriers, worker's compensation insurance providers, and the employee when required. Participation in client meetings, company-wide off-site meetings, and training programs may require some infrequent travel. You are expected to work 40 hours per week and report to the office five days per week, with the possibility of a hybrid schedule assessed based on performance after six months.
