The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has released a new guide for employers on applying Title 1 of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In other ADA news, the Senate recently passed amendments to the law, designed to counter Supreme Court decisions that ruled that people with certain ailments were…
Two surveys out this week show HR/benefits managers have some PR work to do among employees at their companies.
Pay is only one part of the total compensation picture so comparing pay only is not looking at the entire salary. There are other factors too that make salaries vary per environment. For instance a personal handling HVAC in a hospital environment is different than HVAC in an office atmosphere. Looking…
Yes Salary information should be public. Every Public entity must publish their salaries and I believe that private entities shoudl follow suit. It keeps people more honest and perhaps we would not have meltdowns such as the Lehman fiasco!
Attention DB plan sponsors: Do your homework on hedge funds. The Government Accountability Office last week called on the Department of Labor to provide more uniform guidance on the quasi-asset class, now increasingly used to juice pension plan returns.
Should salaries be public? The issue won´t be moot, if a new Web site has its way.

Two studies on the same topic from consulting groups Buck and Mercer have benefit managers scratching their heads.
We won't print the whole phrase, but the idea that you're only screwing yourself when you procrastinate is certainly true for employers waiting until the last minute to file Form 5500's. The deadline (Wednesday, October 15) is fast approaching and employers will face penalties of up to $1,100 per day…
Although it's clearly not the breakfast hour, it took me some time to get my thoughts together today.
The Securities and Exchange Commission offers a brief tip sheet on its Web site to address information employees should know before using a 401(k) debit card. Just another tool in plan sponsors' arsenal on this issue.
New research from Guardian shows strong generational differences among respondents asked where they would find funds to cover out-of-pocket expenses not covered by medical or disability. Younger employees, true to stereotypes, are most likely to turn to friends and family, while Baby Boomers are most…
I think this is an excellent move on Guardian's part. Like it or not, we live in a culture obsessed with celebrity. If Coke, Nintendo and prescription drug companies can hire celebrity spokespeople to spur sales, I see nothing wrong with benefits providers doing it — especially given that the benefits…
