Program Description
Strong fiduciary oversight and protecting workers’ benefits is one of the highest priorities of the U.S. Department of Labor. However, we recognize that understanding and complying with ERISA can be challenging for any employer, but especially so for small and medium sized employers with limited time, resources and/or access to professional assistance. This is a compliance assistance workshop for plan sponsors, advisers, human resources managers, and legal professionals. The Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) will present an introduction to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and cover some of the basics of retirement plan administration. This presentation will also include an overview of the Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program (VFCP).
