MN Paid Leave – Carrier Perspectives

Based on recent experience in other states like Oregon and Colorado, it is our firm belief that utilizing a private market PFML plan will, at the very least, offer you a better (not perfect) administrative experience.

There will be around 20 different carriers that will be quoting PFML plans, but who are the strongest providers, and what do you need to know about them?

In this session, we will be joined by Unum, Standard, and Hartford, three of the top carries in the leave and ancillary space to discuss their perspectives on MN PFML and give you a chance to ask them questions.

SPEAKERS

• Adam Dooley / Standard
• Brad Velin / Unum
• Dustie Roggeman / Hartford

MODERATORS

Brycie Wasson, CPDM – Total Absence Management

Brycie has spent the entirety of her career in absence and disability management. Her journey began administering FMLA leaves for one of our nation’s largest retailers, and she soon advanced to oversee an Absence and Disability Benefits program for a private financial services firm. She implemented several successful absence solutions, including harmonizing policy and practice, creating a formal ADA evaluation process, and integrating a leave management software solution. Brycie’s intimate knowledge of the challenges and successes, from the employer’s perspective, of maintaining and growing an effective absence and disability program while managing the ever-changing regulatory environment is something, she is passionate about sharing with her clients in her consulting role.
