Your HR team handles questions that sit beside benefits: leave, policies, documents and employee issues. Ethos Benefits gives your team access to an HR hotline for expert answers, help creating and updating handbooks, document review and training, so benefits and HR questions get answered in the same place.
Benefits questions rarely arrive alone. An employee's leave, a policy change or a termination usually has a benefits side, and HR needs answers on both.
Leave of absence, terminations, new hires and policy changes all touch benefits: eligibility, COBRA, coverage continuation and communication. With HR support and benefits support in one place, your team gets one answer instead of two.
Every Ethos service reports to your benefits committee. The work is reviewed at your quarterly committee meeting, each decision is recorded with the reasoning behind it, and the record lives in your Ethos Fiduciary OS. That is what lets your committee show the plan was run prudently.

No. The HR hotline gives expert guidance on HR and employment questions. Questions that need a legal opinion go to your counsel.
Your HR team and the people responsible for HR decisions at your company.
Leave, terminations, eligibility and policy changes often affect benefits. Ethos sees both sides, so nothing falls between them.
A Strategic Analysis starts with your plan documents and your broker agreement, then shows you what your plan costs, where the risk sits, and what a committee would decide with the full picture.
