ERISA is a complicated topic and opportunities to have it sorted out for you and the risks quantified are few and far between. This program did exactly that. It identified areas where many companies have deficient compliance programs and risk management, then offered practical solutions to address those challenges with a focus on adoption of best practices. The presentation focused on both regulatory compliance and discharge of fiduciary responsibilities.

Presented at ACCA’s Annual Meeting 2000; Program - ERISA Basics and Hot Topics

Generally, wage and hour collective actions require no showing of intent but can result in enormous damages awards. Complex rules, compliance vulnerability, an aggressive plaintiff's bar and a sluggish economy keep the claims for unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work and misclassification of workers, roiling. Vulnerable pay practices and policies are commonplace, and the DOL Wage and Hour Division, with increased funding and staff, is working overtime to enforce the law.

Purchasing international health benefits is an increasingly complex responsibility. Don’t be caught unaware. A wide variety of US laws and regulations (federal and state) and other jurisdictions’ regulations may apply to the coverage that employers purchase for their global employees. Understanding the compliance environment is the first step in developing a strategy to manage and minimize the risks associated with purchasing international benefits.
