Employee Benefits
Employers largely have discretion to
choose which benefits to offer their employees, but employee benefits
are also regulated by law. Key issues for employers to consider when
developing an employee benefits plan include:
- Which benefits must be provided by law to employees, and which are voluntary;
- Which federal and state laws apply to which benefits; and
- The tax consequences of each benefit offered to the employer and the employee.
The Employee Benefits section includes information on, among other things:
- Cafeteria Plans
- COBRA
- ERISA
- FMLA
- Health Insurance Nondiscrimination Rules
- HSAs, FSAs & HRAs
- Medicare Requirements
