The increasing administrative costs and complexity of pension program compliance and skyrocketing medical costs creates the need for employer scrutiny of administrative oversight benefit programs, including mitigating the increased likelihood of litigation relating to eligibility and claims administration. Government regulation of pension and welfare benefit programs has likewise increased the burdens upon employers that sponsor such programs.

The Scopelitis Employee Benefits team counsels clients on benefit matters including:

• ERISA
• Pension
• Employee welfare benefit programs
• Executive compensation
• Health plans and benefit consulting
• ACA compliance
• Employee benefits disputes and litigation
• COBRA compliance, disputes, and litigation
• FMLA and HIPAA issues
• Multiemployer (Taft-Hartley) plans

As employees become well aware of the costs associated with health insurance and retirement, they rank benefits such as pension and welfare benefit plans second only to salary and wage on their list of factors to consider when deciding to accept a job or stay at an organization. Contact the Scopelitis Employee Benefits team to review your benefits program and remain competitive and desirable in today’s rapidly changing workforce.
