Offering a retirement plan can be one of the most challenging, yet rewarding, decisions an employer can make. The employees participating in the plan, their beneficiaries, and the employer, all benefit when a retirement plan is in place. To meet their responsibilities as plan sponsors, employers need to understand some basic rules, specifically the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). ERISA sets standards of conduct for those who manage an employee benefit plan and its assets (called fiduciaries). Even if employers hire a service provider to manage their retirement plan and its assets, there are functions within the plan that can make an employer a fiduciary.
Please join in a conversation on this very important topic!
