Plan Sponsors’ Annual End-of-Year To-Do Lists: Decoding JDSupra’s Comprehensive Guide

JDSupra has recently released their annual End of Year Plan Sponsor “To Do” Lists. This report has been designed specifically for plan sponsors needing to address year-end issues, with a particular focus on health and welfare plan topics. In an effort to provide comprehensive advice for these sponsors, the content is broken into four distinct Employee Benefits Updates, covering a broad spectrum of key areas. This article presents Part 1 of the series.

Throughout the series, plan sponsors will gain insights into a range of issues including executive compensation issues, qualified plan issues, and cost-of-living increases. The order of these topics may not necessarily follow Parts 2, 3, and 4 in sequence, but the aim is to ensure a well-rounded overview of all relevant end-of-year matters. This first part is released to coincide with fall open enrollment season, a critical phase for plan sponsors in their annual operational calendars.

The series is authored by Snell & Wilmer, a respected organization known for its expertise in providing practical guidance to plan sponsors and those involved in the management of employee benefits.
