About the Book: Health and Welfare Benefit Plans, Third Edition, is a handy reference resource intended to demystify employee welfare benefits. Readers of this edition will gain an understanding of employee benefit regulation and will comprehend the ways benefit issues integrate with the myriad of other employer legal obligations. Its chapters explore the mechanisms through which employers provide employee welfare benefits, and focus on the various forms of employee benefits (other than pension) that employers choose to provide to their employees. The third edition addresses benefit programs that are not ERISA covered pension benefits and thoroughly discusses the delivery of employer provided non-pension benefits. Intended for lawyers and human resource professionals who deal with employee benefits issues as part of their practice, but who do not devote substantial portions of their practice to ERISA-related issues, it is a useful guide to planning and management. As such, it is timely and as current a discussion of the significant changes as are to be practically found in a single volume. About the Author: James M.
