And Then Came ERISA: Protecting the Employer, Part 1
Pension Consultants, Inc. Link to more items from this source
Aug. 24, 2015

"In order to better understand the distinction between the role of the settlor of a retirement plan and the role of a fiduciary of a retirement plan, it is important to first answer the following question: Who is the Settlor of the Plan? ... This question ... gets more complicated when you ask, who is the Employer? Is it the Board of Directors? What about Officers of the company like the CEO and CFO? Are these individuals considered the 'Employer,' and thus the Settlor of the retirement plan? The answer unsurprisingly is not totally clear."
