Over the next few months I will be writing about the many benefits that are available to you as a member of CMEA. This may be a bit redundant for some.
However, as I have discovered in my travels, there has been significant turnover in HR leadership over the past several months. So a review of benefits will be very timely.
I will start with what is by far our most important and valuable benefit. That would be the incredible legal team at Skoler, Abbott and Presser. Each member of CMEA, as part of your annual dues, receives an hour of free time with the Skoler team. How you use this resource is up to you. The time isn’t limited to any specific area of HR Law. You can get assistance in a myriad of ways.
Many of our members have used this resource over the last several months to better understand the different Covid 19 pieces of legislation, others to clarify Paid Family Medical Leave. Several have used the time to improve handbook policies that have become outdated or irrelevant. While a large group have tried to comprehend the many challenges that the Federal Family Medical Leave Act creates for a business.
For those that didn’t participate in our fall webinar series, these same attorneys provided CMEA members with incredible FREE legal guidance on some very important topics. Where can you go to get legal advice that costs as little as a CMEA membership?
Guidance and support for all members is just a phone call away. No special login or passwords are needed. Just a membership with CMEA. Just dial my number and I will connect you. If there is anything that needs to be done that would be it.
As a member said to me on a visit to their business recently, they may never know how much money they have saved by being a CMEA member. They have used the Skoler, Abbott and Presser benefit many times. He believes it very well may have saved the business.
As he went on to say, “all it takes is one wrong decision, one unintended action or an unhappy employee situation and it can cost you thousands of dollars. With this one benefit I can protect myself and my business.”
So if you aren’t a member of CMEA go to your phone and give me a call. I’ll make the membership process absolutely painless. Best of all you can start to receive this amazing benefit right away.
To those of you that are CMEA members and know about this great benefit, you know how fantastic the Skoler, Abbott and Presser team is.
I hope that this article has opened your eyes to a really great CMEA benefit. Take the time next month to read about another one of our amazing benefits.
See you all next month, until then please stay healthy.
