You’ll also get help obtaining and administering your workers’ comp policy, verifying class codes, responding to audits, issuing certificates, managing claims, drug testing, and creating return-to-work programs.
Improve workplace safety
Work with your Stratus HR consultant to develop an employee safety program that minimizes risks, prevents costly accidents, and maintains compliance with OSHA standards. With Stratus support, you can also minimize significant health and safety issues by working on an anti-drug abuse program, including help with implementing and maintaining drug testing.
Investigation assistance
Get advice and assistance for sensitive workplace situations from certified HR experts. We will help you with an objective third-party investigation for workplace accidents, claims of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, and other employee or employer wrong-doings.
Stay compliant
Whether labor laws change in your state or you are subject to new ones because of growth, don’t sweat breaking compliance. The Stratus team works in the background to keep tabs on laws. And if something changes, we’ll make the necessary updates and let you know so that you stay compliant. That way, you avoid fines and are always in the loop without wasting precious time.
