Employee Fringe and Welfare Benefit Plans (West's Employment Law Series)

Published as a companion to Qualified Retirement Plans, this book discusses major types of employee fringe and welfare benefit plans available under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Chapters discuss the applicability of ERISA to different plans, the effect of ERISA application, fiduciary requirements under ERISA, and other laws (including the Internal Revenue Code) that affect plans, such as age, race, and sex discrimination laws. Appendixes provide many sample plans, including a model cafeteria plan, Rabbi Trust deferred compensation plan, and golden parachute agreements, as well as resolutions and transmittal letters.
