Are Your 'Voluntary' Benefit Plans Subject to ERISA?
Graydon Head & Ritchey LLP
Feb. 22, 2017 "[T]here are four requirements of the voluntary plan safe harbor.... The benefit plan must be completely voluntary and employee paid, with no employer contributions made in any form for any employees.... [T]he employer must not endorse the plan. In simple terms if you endorse it, you own it (for purposes of ERISA) ... Finally, under the safe harbor, employers are prohibited from receiving any compensation that exceeds reasonable reimbursement for collecting and remitting premium payments." MORE >> |
