Answer to Question 1

Answer: In developing benefit plans, employers must address numerous policy issues including 1) what benefits to offer; 2) who receives coverage; 3) whether to include retirees in the plan; 4) whether to deny benefits to employees during the initial probationary periods; 5) how to finance benefits; 6) the degree of employee choice in determining benefits; 7) cost-containment procedures; and how to communicate benefits options to employees. COBRA, ERISA, FMLA, HIPAA, and the ADA have significant impacts on employers' pension and health plans.
