Today's workforce is as concerned about benefits as it is base compensation.  This highly complex legal arena is governed by tax and labor agencies of the federal and state governments.  Significant liabilities can be created by an employer's unintended failure to comply with the fiduciary and regulatory requirements of the law.  Individual liabilities can be created for officers, directors and managers with responsibility over employee benefit plans and policies. Companies confronted with the opportunities of mergers and acquisitions will be well served by a thorough "due diligence" assessment of benefit plan assets and liabilities.
