The course is designed to provide students with an understanding of compensation and benefit plans as they relate to Organizations, employees, Human Resource Managers, and those who study ERISA and other bodies of law. Today, in an attempt to attract and retain the best-qualified employees organizations are spending an increasing amount of their diminishing revenues on compensation and benefit plans. In addition to responding to increasing employee demands, organizations have had to adapt to recent changes in the federal tax treatment of these plans. Current legislation has had a dramatic effect on the way Organizations design and implemented benefit plans in today?s workplace. Qualified plans, such as IRAs and Section 401(k) cash deferred plans, are popular among employees, because many employers no longer offer fully funded pension plans for their employees. As changes in the workplace continue to evolve, so do opportunities for professionals seeking growth, challenge, and transition, in the fields of Human Resources Management, Recruiting and Retention, Marketing, Accounting, Insurance, Medicine, and other diverse skills. |
