Resolu helps with Sickness Benefits Act guidance
If your organization is self-insured for the Sickness Benefits Act and/or WGA, then our specialist sickness guidance is for you. We help you manage risks and minimize costs.
Our services focus specifically on:
- employees who leave sick
- former employees who report sick to the UWV within 28 days of leaving employment
- any (former) employees who still call in sick after 28 days of leaving employment
As self-insurer for the Sickness Benefits Act, you are responsible for the supervision of these (former) employees. You are obliged to do so until these (ex-)employees have fully recovered, when there is sufficient earning capacity or until the end of the waiting period.
The financial impact: 12 years of risk
A (former) employee's financial risk can be as high as 13 years:
- The first 2 years: sick leave or wage payment obligation
- Any third year of sick leave or wage payment obligation (wage sanction)
- The following 10 years: WGA claims burden
This long-term financial responsibility emphasizes the importance of effective counseling from day one.
ย Complete guidance of your (former) employees
Good supervision of (former) employees who enter the Sickness Benefits Act is of great importance in order to minimize current and subsequent damage. At Resolu, we take over the complete supervision of your former employees. Our approach is characterized by:
- Assertive and creative counseling within the framework of laws and regulations
- Regular meetings with a (registered) case manager. Both remotely and physically.
- Medical assessments by specialized physicians to monitor taxability and chart complex assessments.
All actions revolve around damage control for the employer and fair treatment of the employee. You can take our Sickness Law counseling with or without benefit processing.
