A Critical Aspect of a Human Resources Department

One of the most important functions of an HR department is the administration of COBRA Insurance. COBRA is the short-term insurance most employees continue with after their separation from a firm before beginning work with another firm. Managing COBRA is an extremely tedious, important, and time consuming task for an HR department. Without COBRA, people would be uninsured while in between jobs. Managing COBRA with your ex-employees in mind will ensure your firm's compliance with all short-term insurance laws and employee separation policies.
