Spotlight on Benefits: Legal Aid

One of M&R’s benefits for eligible employees is legal aid, which enables employees and their eligible dependents to speak with a lawyer about any personal legal matter without having to worry about incurring high hourly costs. Benefits include legal advice, letters and calls made on the employee’s behalf, will preparation, contract reviews and 24/7 emergency access.

New employees become eligible to participate in the company’s benefits program on the first of the month after 30 days of employment. Existing employees can revise their benefits in December. Benefit choices are locked in during the rest of the year but can be changed if employees experience a “qualified life event,” including marriage, divorce and the birth or adoption of a child.
