Pension Protection Act Updates to Benefits Compliance Book

WorldatWork recently announced the re-release of Benefits Compliance: An Overview for the HR Professional (http://www.worldatwork.org/waw/adimLinkid=24239).

When one mistake in compliance could result in fines, penalties and lawsuits, WorldatWork realized the need for an updated version of this overview in light of the recent changes to the regulatory environment affecting the workforce.

In addition to minor changes to benefits compliance rules, this newly revised title includes a new chapter on the Pension Protection Act of 2006. The chapter, written by WorldatWork benefits practice leader Lenny Sanicola (http://www.worldatwork.org/waw/pressroom/html/pressroom-bio-sanicola.html), was called the "best, most succinct overview of the Pension Protection Act," by author Alden Bianchi, a noted employee benefits attorney.

Other new additions include a chapter on state-level health care reform efforts, a discussion of Medicare reforms including Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit, an updated HIPAA discussion and an overview of the proposed Section 125 cafeteria plan regulations.

With basic employment safeguards to communicate to senior management, this reader-friendly summary of federal laws is essential when it comes to employee benefit plan design, maintenance and operation.
