Employee Benefits Broadcast (January 2009)

Foley is pleased to continue the Employee Benefits Broadcast Web conference series. Each quarter, Foley’s Employee Benefits attorneys will share all of the employee benefits news and analysis you need in an engaging and informative hour-long Web conference.

This broadcast took place on Tuesday, January 20, 2009. This session’s featured segments were:

• Headline News: Leigh C. Riley discussed legal issues to keep in mind when reducing or eliminating benefit costs and benefit considerations when terminating employees.
  
• In the Spotlight: Ann I. Mennell provided an overview of the new Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) regulations and their impact on your benefit plans.
  
• Cram Session: The Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 permits plans to suspend minimum required distributions for 2009. Kathy L. Aizawa discussed what this means for your retirement plans.

The Employee Benefits Broadcast provides participants with needed information in the most efficient manner possible — only a telephone line and Internet access are required to participate — allowing employee benefits professionals to stay up-to-date with timely information from anywhere in the nation.
