Bond, Schoeneck & King’s Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation Practice Group will be hosting Employee Benefit Fundamentals for Higher Education Institutions: A Lesson Plan for Success, on November 6 from 12:00-1:30 EST.
In this webinar, a panel of Bond attorneys will offer a strategic overview of core benefit issues that impact higher education institutions. This presentation is intended to equip college and university human resources professionals, trustees, general counsels and other plan managers, administrators and fiduciaries with actionable insights that address a wide range of challenges presented by their benefit programs.
Why Now?
With the academic year underway and a new calendar year approaching, now is the perfect time to assess the organization, operation and oversight of your benefit plans.
Challenges in Higher Ed
- Unique employment structures (student workers, adjuncts, tenured faculty, stipend pay)
- High turnover in human resources departments
- Risk of multi-year plan corrections, faculty claims, and governmental audits
Why It Matters
A proactive review can help avoid costly legal liabilities and ensure compliance with evolving regulations. Common compliance issues include:
- Inadequate administrative controls for 403(b) and 457(b) plans
- Insufficient benefit plan governance and oversight systems
- Misunderstood executive compensation rules
What’s at Stake
Financial penalties, litigation, and reputational harm.
We look forward to you joining us.
