Patterson

Patterson is the county seat of the Passaic County, New Jersey. It once was known as the Silk City because of all the silk production and the nickname still holds. Patterson has changed as so many other urban areas have in the recent years. A new feature to Patterson is its place in the immigration to the United States. This is a major port of entry for Hispanic immigrants. Furthermore, immigrants from the Muslim world are coming into Patterson, making it the second largest concentration of Muslims in United States. These newcomers have distinct challenges that are aided by group legal plan benefits.

Helping Foreign Employees

This is a strange land for these people, with new languages and different laws. It can be very frightening for any foreign employee. Organizations need to think of a group legal plan as one of the best forms of assistance. Moreover, as they struggle to assimilate and adjust to a new culture, the financial wellness of these people can be a problem. Credit cards may be entirely new and bewildering. Having some good advice can help. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services is aware of the challenges that for employees often confront. It is why we provide group legal plan benefits and a financial wellness programs for employers to consider.

Service with Respect

Immigrants come to America have every right to be treated with respect. The customs and language may be different, but they still should be treated with dignity. Empathy is something Countrywide provides. We insist that our lawyers and financial wellness counselors have superior human skills. These are critical skills for dealing with new arrivals.

Pre-paid legal services such as interpreting documents requires trust. The plan member has to be able to have confidence in the lawyer. Help with financial affairs is a delicate situation for anyone. Immigrants are very concerned about their money. Our counselors go over everything patiently and answer all questions. No question is considered irrelevant and plan members are never treated as being stupid.

Patterson employers need to know that our financial wellness counselors and attorneys are in the local area. No employee has to deal with somebody at a distance. We also make sure that it is easy to contact any of our people. In the group legal plan, a member is permitted unlimited telephone calls on a given situation. The attorney will also make telephone calls and write letters on behalf of the member. This is a critical service for anybody who has trouble with the language. It can happen unethical merchants will take advantage of an immigrant by not honoring warranties or providing shoddy merchandise. A Countrywide attorney can help see to it that an employee is not taken advantage of by such people. Indeed, we can help prepare a small claims court body of evidence. These are the kind of services that make immigrants less of a victim.

We see to it that all services are delivered as quickly as possible. No employee of a Countrywide client has to wait a long period of time. This is essential for a foreign born person. He or she isn't quite sure of when service will be delivered. Our administration is streamlined to make things move. Having access to an attorney immediately or financial wellness counselor the next day all help relieve anxiety.

Paterson Clients Can Choose

The best way to guarantee employee appreciation is give them benefits they want. This is not always easy because demographics come into the equation. It is why we allow our clients to choose what options will be part of the plan document. Regardless of what is selected, both in the pre-paid legal services benefits and financial wellness programs the same quality service is provided with a human touch.

New arrivals to America are hard-working and want to experience the American dream. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services provide the kind of benefits employers may use to help their workers. All of our various benefit options are available for review. We invite decision-makers and human resources directors to contact us. We welcome any questions and will provide solid answers.

The legal plan has been a great resource and they commonly align the practice area with the best of the best. I have used this in multiple states and locations for a range of services and have saved 10x program costs. I highly recommend this service and is a great benefit MTM provides us. T. Lucas

I have been able to personally recommend this to a number of our people base on the excellent service and quality advice that I have received over the last two years. I have been able to have a new will drawn up, have received advice and review of real estate contracts both in New Jersey and Florida, and have had occasion, unfortunately, to seek advice on criminal charges filed against one of my teenagers. We were delighted when the charges were dropped, the direct result of the representation of the lawyer I immediately contacted from Countrywide. I will continue to recommend Countrywide based on my personal experience as well as the feedback that I have received from our employees. P. Daniels HR Director

We have offered Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services to our employees since 2007. At the time, we were looking for a unique, low cost benefit offering for our employees. I had heard about pre-paid legal services, but must admit, I didn’t think our employees would get much bang for their buck. I was wrong, I was stunned at how many employees actually enrolled in the plan during that first year. Our enrollment continues to be strong and employees rave about the benefit year after year. The plan is simple to administer and Countrywide handle everything in an organized, professional manner. It’s been a very well-received benefit for our employees. J. Magrowski, VP Human Resources

Our benefits philosophy is to attract, motivate, reward and retain the best employees and Countrywide complimented our total rewards package. The set up and rollout of this plan was well organized and quite easy to administer. Countrywide has been easy to work with, has attended our benefit fairs, group meetings and provides us with all communication pieces for open enrollment. J. Kilpatrick Benefits Manager

We made a decision to offer Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services as a voluntary benefit to our full-time employees. The benefit was well-received by employees and enrollment has been consistently high. The plan is easy to administer and fully paid at the employee level. Countrywide attends all of our employee fairs, gives an excellent presentation to our employees and they are timely and responsive to our request for information. From an HR perspective, I can highly recommend this service to any company looking to enhance their employee benefits package with quality choices while keeping costs manageable. S.
