Jay M. Kirschbaum, J.D., David Mohl, Elizabeth Vollmar, Willis

Are you new to employee benefits? Or perhaps you are a compensation professional looking to cross train in the benefits arena or a seasoned HR generalist who has just recently taken over managing health and welfare benefits. This day-long, pre-conference boot camp is designed to help you know more about ERISA, ADA, COBRA, HIPAA, FMLA, ADEA and all of the other acronyms and laws that make employee benefits very confusing. In this session, experts shed light on the overall structure of the laws and essentials of managing health and welfare benefits. Learn the difference between mandatory and voluntary benefits, how laws fit together, the importance of compliance through plan documentation, how nondiscrimination rules work and the basics of COBRA and HIPAA. Gain insight into fiduciary liability issues under ERISA and an understanding of the Medicare Modernization Act. The session also covers two of today’s most high-profile topics: consumer-driven health care and wellness programs. In addition, hear about common HR mistakes and how to avoid them, and discover what the future likely holds for employer-sponsored health care. Leave this session better equipped to manage the challenges you face in your health and welfare plans.
