Description:
 |
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") imposes fiduciary duties on persons involved with employer-sponsored retirement and health and welfare plans, including those persons who have discretionary responsibility in the administration of such plans.
Some courts have referred to ERISA's fiduciary standards as the highest known to the law, and fiduciaries can be held personally liable for breaching their duties.
If you are involved with an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, it is critical that you know when you are acting in a fiduciary capacity and, if so, with what standards you must comply.

Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
