Matrix integrates workers’ compensation, short and long term disability, return-to-work services, and personal/family and medical leave (FMLA) programs to make employers more efficient and productive. Additionally, this latest release allows employees of their customers to initiate a claim directly from the mobile device. Employees can also use the app to report intermittent absence from work. The new app is integrated with Matrix’s secure online portal, which also features mobile communication, reporting and analysis capabilities for employees and administrators. The technology allows employees to initiate absence claims and report intermittent time, as well as access leave information and correspondence, complete surveys and interact with their claims examiner remotely from their smartphone or tablet.
