The Importance of Voluntary Benefits

ERISA SPD – Compliance Webinar Replay

Were you able to attend the “How a Wrap Can Prevent Thousands in Penalties” webinar we co-sponsored with myHRcounsel™ at the end of September? We are resending the link to replay the webinar for those who were unable to attend, or could benefit from another review of the material.

ESC provides our clients with an SPD that meets ERISA requirements. However, that is rarely the case and far from guaranteed for any other health welfare benefit plans you offer your core or hourly employees. A Wrap document from myHRcounsel™ can take care of the ERISA requirements for those plans and save you tens of thousands in penalty and interest.
