Information

A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of the October 2015 webcast, Employee Benefits for Employment Attorneys.

Topics covered include:

The definition of an ERISA plan
ERISA fiduciary duties
Retirement plans and the importance of “tax-qualified” status
Frequent and recurring plan compliance issues
Participant disclosures
Unique COBRA and HIPAA issues
Affordable Care Act concerns, including the employer mandate and reporting obligations

Employment lawyers often encounter ERISA and employee benefit issues unawares: a client may ask about continued health coverage requirements for employees on approved FMLA leave; a client may need to reduce its workforce due to economic concerns; payroll processing errors may cause late retirement plan contributions; the client’s staff nurse may request access to employee health records to treat a worksite injury; or a single individual may be responsible for choosing plan designs, executing all plan documents, plus plan administration. Navigating the compliance risks can be challenging. Many lawyers, however, may not recognize them.

Employee benefit attorneys Rhonda Migdail and Christina Crockett will discuss these and other ERISA-related concerns that employment lawyers (in particular) may encounter.
