LAW 276 Employee Benefits Law Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Litigation ] [ Transactional ] Health Law: General Why it is relevant for ... [ Litigation ] [ Transactional ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Employment Law : Attorneys representing healthcare providers are often called upon to handle compensation and benefits issues, whether representing the hospital or HMO, or a group of physicians and other healthcare workers. This course examines the basic areas of employee benefits and compensation, including executive compensation and health and retirement plans. Students should consider taking 1 or more employment law courses. General course Description: Employee benefits have been much in the news lately: vanishing retirement savings, a seemingly broken health care system, outsized executive bonuses. The one thing all these items share in common is that they are employer provided and as much part of the practice of employee benefit law. This course focuses on how employers help employees save for retirement, specifically through the use of retirement plans that are qualified under the tax code. It looks briefly at the origin of retirement plans and then delves into detail on the requirements such plans must meet under both the tax code and ERISA (the Employee Retirement Income Security Act). The course is designed to be a seminar with active participation by all members of the class. Course Style: A Substantive/Statutory course deals with law, theory, and policy in the context of a particular code or statutory scheme. |
