DOL COMPLIANCE
Over the past few years, the Department of Labor (DOL) has ramped up its enforcement of federal laws, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Attorney-created resources can help you learn about DOL compliance obligations and make sure you are following all of the rules.
HIPAA COMPLIANCE
Plan sponsors know the importance of complying with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and HIPAA Privacy and Security regulations, but sometimes the implications of those laws on a business can be unclear. We can help our clients understand HIPAA laws and stay current with updates, as well as make administration easier with notices and forms.
ERISA COMPLIANCE
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is a federal law that sets minimum standards for employee benefit plans maintained by private-sector employers. The Department of Labor (DOL), through its Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), enforces most of ERISA’s provisions. Violating ERISA can have serious and costly consequences for employers that sponsor welfare benefit plans, either through DOL enforcement actions and penalty assessments or through participant lawsuits. If you offer a benefits plan, you’re subject to ERISA.
