Employee Benefits Consulting
ERISA Benefits Consulting, Inc. works with corporate,
union, governmental and non-profit plan sponsors on a full range of projects
for health, life, 401(k) and pension plans, including:
WORKFORCE STRATEGY
Develop a workforce strategy based on a "total compensation" approach,
integrating pay, health & welfare benefits, pension/401(k), paid time
off and quality of work life. Today's employee is very interested in benefits,
and the term "fringe" isn't heard much anymore! The retirement of the
baby boomers and the smaller size of the following generation are creating
a long term environment where employers will compete to attract and retain
qualified people in all positions.
BENEFIT PLAN DESIGN
EBC goes beyond technical requirements to design a qualified or non-qualified
benefit plan that is tailored to your business objectives, the competitive
environment and the demands of your workforce. The pension and healthcare
needs and concerns of today's employees differ greatly from that of their
parents.
GROUP PRESENTATIONS
An educated benefits staff can more effectively handle employee issues.
Informed employees will better understand their benefits and the important
part benefits play in the total compensation picture. Half hour to half
day presentations on pension, health plan, 401(k), Social Security and
Medicare issues can be customized for your benefits professionals, all
your employees, your unions or your association members.
EXIT INCENTIVE PLANS
Is your company restructuring or reinventing itself? ERISA Benefits Consulting
can design and implement early retirement bridge plans, voluntary severance
plans and other tools to ease the impact of often difficult change for
your business and employees.
UNION NEGOTIATIONS
Benefits are an important and very expensive part of collective bargaining
agreements. We have evaluated a wide-range of plans and negotiated with
unions on health plans, traditional pension plans, 401(k) and retiree
medical plans.
MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
M&A work can be complicated and stressful for your business whether
you are acquiring or selling a business unit. ERISA Benefits Consulting
can assist with due diligence when you are contemplating an acquisition
or divestiture and amend, integrate or spin off plans.
LITIGATION SUPPORT
As an attorney by training, Dr. Johnson is highly qualified to assist
legal counsel in benefits litigation or legal matters involving a benefits
issue.
ARBITRATION
Are you maximizing this advantage? Binding arbitration is an attractive,
cost effective and faster alternative than litigation. Long the backbone
of labor relations, arbitration is expanding by practice, contract
and law to more of the employment relations. ERISA Benefits Consulting
can assist in the preparation as well as help present your case. Dr.
Johnson has presented two dozen cases under the rules of the American
Arbitration Association.
