Educational resources

SFM provides its policyholders a wide array of resources on topics ranging from general workers' compensation and managing claims to loss prevention. The educational, self-help tools include handouts, posters, paycheck stuffers and more covering all levels: basic, intermediate and advanced.

All of these resources can be downloaded and ordered online through the "Resource catalog" or by calling (952) 838-4325 or (800) 937-1181 ext 4325.

In-house work comp legal advice

SFM's in-house legal firm--Lynn, Scharfenberg & Associates--is a staff of attorneys who can be a valuable resource for policyholders and often help avoid litigation. LSA attorneys provide helpful workers' compensation information at no charge to policyholders.

Call (952) 838-4450 or (800) 937-1181 ext. 4450.

Employment legal advice

Because policyholders also ask SFM's in-house attorneys for advice on employment matters, SFM has entered into a special arrangement with Littler-Mendelson, a national law firm practicing exclusively in employment law.

Littler's services are available to SFM policyholders at a discounted fee based on size. They include: employee handbook review, labor and employment compliance audit, human resource and supervisor training. Littler also provides policyholders with a "hotline" for obtaining a designated amount of free telephone consultation.

For information, call SFM at (952) 838-4224; (800) 937-1181
or Littler's Minneapolis office at (612) 313-7650.
