About This Course
The Employee Retirement Security Act was designed to protect employees who participate in employers pension and welfare benefit plans and yet, there are those who maintain that it has failed plan beneficiaries who are looking to enforce their compensation rights under employer sponsored health, severance, life and insurance and long term disability plans. And yet, many obstacles have been placed before those attempting to enforce their rights.
