Divorce & Business The Hidden Impact on Employers; Custody Calculations Panel Speaker at The Women & Business Expo

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) September 19, 2007

Custody Calculations, CEO, Catherine MacWillie was a featured speaker on a panel discussing the impact of family law on employers. The conference, Women & Business Expo, was held in Riverside, California, on September 14, 2007.

The profit and loss statement of business can be directly impacted by employees during the divorce process. The inability to focus, miss deadlines, and production errors are all issues that occur during the stress of a divorce and have a direct impact on employers and their businesses.

Most employers are also unaware of how divorce can result in claims of sexual harassment, hostile work environment, retaliation, claims of inability to promote, or the need to recall employees from overseas and domestic assignments, and reassign to other management positions. This is especially true if both spouses are employed at the same company. Included in this list of issues is the necessity in some cases to deal with criminal and civil liability as well as workman’s compensation issues due to the actions of employees during the divorce process.

Examples provided included, an employee who was emotional after appearing in court to deal with child support, alimony, property settlement, other complications of their divorce. While driving the company vehicle, distracted, they become involved in a traffic accident. Depending on the seriousness of that traffic accident employers can find themselves dealing with civil and criminal liability due to the actions of their employee.

In another scenario an employee under the stress of the divorce believes that they are having a heart attack. They go to the hospital where they may or may not be having a heart attack or they may be having an anxiety attack. The doctor puts them on a restricted work schedule, or puts them off work entirely. Either way these actions impact an employer.

At minimum an employer must deal with an increase in an employee’s sick time, workman’s compensation issues, unscheduled vacation time, all related to family law impacting employers and impacting their bottom line.

Other worst case scenarios included violence in the workplace, shootings, stabbings, domestic violence, stalking, harassment, intimidation all actions by a former spouse or terminated relationship involving children occurring at a business, either during or after the divorce process.

But there is help. Employers will now be able to able to offer a divorce benefit to their employees. No different from other employee benefits such as vision, dental, and life insurance. Benefits that will help employees deal with divorce, reducing the impact on their employers and their business. A win/win scenario.

The divorce benefit is tailored unlike other insurance polices and can be completely tailored to the needs of each business, number of employees and financial strength. And unlike other policies this policy does not expire yearly, but is based on usage of the employees.
