754 - How can you help employees in life events?

The current situation with inflation has many people worried.

It's one of those life events that affect a multitude of people.

LegalShield has provided information on how businesses can help employees during these times.

"Inflation has significantly raised the prices of groceries, gas, utilities, and more during the past year.

Employees who commute to the office or work remotely face pressure from all sides due to increased living costs. Beyond salary, employees increasingly look to their employers to help improve financial wellness.

Employers can accomplish this by offering relevant benefits, including emergency savings funds, student loan assistance, financial education and planning, and legal assistance.

When employees need legal assistance with tax disputes, consumer finance issues, renter disputes, and finance-related problems, having affordable legal guidance can help protect vital assets and increase peace of mind.

Consumer finance disputes are less stressful when employees have access to a provider lawyer.

By offering a legal benefit, employers enable their teams to access a local, dedicated provider law firm for a fraction of that cost and potentially save thousands of dollars annually.

Hiring a lawyer is expensive. But for a small monthly payroll deduction, a legal protection benefit provides review, advice, and consultation on most common personal consumer finance matters, including:

• Consumer Disputes: Utility bills, home contractors, warranties

• Debt Disputes: Credit card debt, student loans, collection agency harassment, medical billing

• Tax Problems: IRS audits, tax refunds, tax liens, back taxes, questions about Middle-Class Tax Refunds, and other tax rebates or Child Tax Credit

• Insurance Disputes: Health and car, home and renters, life

• Family Matters: Prenuptial agreements, divorce, adoption

• Real Estate: Mortgages, security deposit, property damage, real estate contracts

• Renter/Tenant Issues: Negotiation of leases, evictions, security deposits"

Your employees don't have to navigate these waters alone.
