"[E]mployers must grapple with the FMLA's requirements within the confines of the new, often remote, modern workforce....

"Sellers often defend themselves in ESOP valuation cases by claiming that they are not valuation experts, and thus they cannot be expected to know whether the ESOP paid more than fair market value for the company's stock. After all, that's why the trustee hires its own independent appraiser. Yet, the Vinoskey and Bowers decisions show that sellers still need to be engaged in the process."

"While [the] holding provides a clear instruction to ERISA fiduciaries, what remains unanswered is the standard that plaintiffs must satisfy in their pleadings to survive a motion to dismiss. Some of the language in the court's opinion suggests this standard could be a high one, resulting in this decision potentially being a Pyrrhic victory for plaintiffs." [Hughes v. Northwestern Univ., No. 19-1401 (S. Ct. Jan. 24, 2022)]

IRS Updates Nonqualified Plan Audit Technique Guide: is a New Enforcement Initiative on the Horizon?
Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP
July 19, 2021
"This latest update to the NQDC guide contains much more detailed guidance than the prior version. That is noteworthy because President Joe Biden and many members of Congress have been proposing to increase the IRS's budget in order to provide more resources for audit initiatives. Could a new executive compensation enforcement initiative be on its way? If so, employers need to be prepared with the following steps."

"[T]he CEO, CFO and the three other highest paid executives represent a permanent group of covered employees. For plan years beginning after Dec. 31, 2026, an additional five employees will represent a current-year group of employees that changes from year-to-year.... [O]ver time, the number of covered employees could grow into a large number, and that number may include many people who no longer work at the company[.]"
