Folks:
We were discussing recently whether an excecutive who was 85 years old could voluntarily waive his retirement benefits.
Can someone direct me to that discussion?
The reason I have an interest is a paper I am reading on whether employees who have been misclassified as independent contractors can sue for lost benefits, even though they signed up as (misclassified) independent contractors who voluntarily waived the benefits?
In one of the IRS or DOL rulings, as I remember, it stated something to the effect that voluntarily waiving a contracted for retirement benefit was not an option for the employee.
