Mandated Benefits 2011 Compliance Guide is a comprehensive and practical reference manual covering key federal regulatory issues that must be addressed by human resources (HR) managers, benefits specialists, and company executives in all industries. Frequent changes in employment laws, coupled with the need to recruit and retain top talent while simultaneously holding down costs, present these professionals with an array of challenges on a daily basis. Mandated Benefits 2011 Compliance Guide helps take the guesswork out of managing employee benefits and human resources by clearly and concisely describing the essential requirements and administrative processes necessary to comply with each regulation. The Guide offers suggestions for protecting employers against the most common litigation threats and recommendations for handling various types of employee problems. Throughout the Guide are numerous exhibits, useful checklists and forms, and do's and don'ts. A list of HR audit questions at the beginning of each chapter serves as an aid in evaluating a company's level of regulatory compliance. It is critical that employers remember that any federal law regulating administration of employment, compensation, or employee benefits represents the minimum requirements for compliance. A state may pass legislation to modify a federal law and increase the benefit's entitlement, but no state may reduce the entitlement to a benefit below the federal minimum. If a company finds that the current administration for any benefit or employment requirement does not meet at least the federal law, the mismatch should be looked into promptly. There are significant fines and penalties associated with failure to comply with required employee benefits and human resources regulations.
