UNITEL Delivers HR Advisory Services to INCOMPAS Members
UNITEL Insurance is offering innovative
human resources advisory services to
member companies of INCOMPAS (formerly
COMPTEL) at a discount, which can start as low as
$350 per year.
UNITEL HR Solutions are available to assist busi-
nesses with navigating the constantly changing
healthcare environment, including Affordable Care
Act (ACA) requirements, as well as hundreds of
complex employment-law issues relating to hiring,
termination, discrimination, pay and classification,
time off and Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
continuation, COBRA, employee relations and
employee safety.
“Businesses of all sizes grapple with HR ques-
tions daily, and often find themselves faced with
costly attorney advisory fees or confused by incom-
plete answers from colleagues or the Web,” said
Chip Pickering, CEO of INCOMPAS. “Working with
UNITEL, we can bring another, more cost-effective,
option to our members with the availability of
UNITEL HR Solutions.”
The human resources function in companies
continues to evolve and change, especially with
the complexities that companies face regarding the
ACA, OSHA, compliance and other legal issues.
Many companies don’t have the staff or the
money to have a full-time human resources person,
so they turn those responsibilities over to an
employee who is wearing several hats within that
company. But, there are many instances when a
complex HR issue arises and that employee may
not know where to turn to get the expert guid-
ance they need. Web-based HR information portals
can only help to a certain degree. It takes time and
effort, and many times it is difficult to find the right
answer; some companies will make calls to their
attorneys to have questions answered, which can
be very expensive.
“With UNITEL HR Solutions, companies can save
money and turn to a trusted HR resource when
they need one,” the company said. “Now, instead of
costly calls to an attorney or incomplete answers
from the Web, you can have direct access to certi-
fied consultants with UNITEL’s HR hotline. You can
receive immediate guidance and best-practices
advice to handle the toughest HR solutions swiftly,
and get right back to business.”
In addition, UNITEL HR Solutions offers Web-
based training for employees and managers, with
more than 200 on-demand courses. These courses
cover six popular subject areas, from employment
to safety, and can be used for either new-hire
orientation or continued education for employees
throughout the year.
The other component is a comprehensive
online HR library, which has step-by-step guides
for federal and state law compliance, COBRA and
FMLA, and thousands of templates, forms, guides
and online tools. There are also other benefits such
as bi-weekly newsletters, state and federal compli-
ance alerts, HRCI-approved webinars, whitepapers
and other valuable resources.
“UNITEL HR Solutions has been a valuable
resource for us,” said Deb Ward, CEO at TSI and
chairwoman of INCOMPAS. “We have been very
impressed with the professionalism and exper-
tise their certified professionals have displayed.
This is an exceptional service that can help
companies stay compliant and save time and
money by having HR support available when
they need it. I highly recommend you check out
UNITEL HR Solutions.”
Attendees that meet with Carl Zeutzius, director
of sales and marketing for UNITEL HR Solutions,
at COMPTEL PLUS will be entered into a drawing
to win a free one-year subscription to the service,
compliments of INCOMPAS. Zeutzius can be
reached via text/voice at 402-770-7150 or email at
“UNITEL is extremely excited to partner with
INCOMPAS and its member companies. We fully
understand the HR challenges that INCOMPAS
members face each day and believe that UNITEL HR
Solutions will be a valuable resource to help them
save money while reducing their overall risk related
to managing people and safety within their compa-
nies,” said Zeutzius.
He added, “There are many HR Web portals on
the market today, but what sets UNITEL HR Solu-
tions apart is our live phone access to PHR- and
SPHR-certified HR professionals, who can help
answer difficult questions that often arise. Our part-
nership with ThinkHR allows us to deliver substan-
tial price saving to INCOMPAS members.” o
