The Employer's Handbook to 401(k) Savings Plans is a must-have resource for any company that is considering implementing, or is already sponsoring, an employee benefits plan. Author Christian D. Rahaim expertly guides employers through the challenging, ever-changing, and heavily scrutinized processes involved with employee benefits and compensation. Employee participation in 401(k) plans now exceeds eighty percent, making this approachable guide more invaluable than ever before. Rahaim covers the three major components of offering a 401(k) savings plan: preparation, implementation, and maintenance. Rahaim walks employers through the plan-selection process, which involves careful research, analysis, and, most importantly, the assistance of outside experts. He continues with advice on putting the plan into practice, investing 401(k) monies, understanding fiduciary responsibilities, and improving communications. The Employers' Handbook to 401(k) Savings Plans also includes a thorough discussion of recent laws, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 Economic Growth and the Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (EGTTRA). Comprehensive but easily understood, The Employers' Handbook to 401(k) Savings Plans is the only source employers, fiduciaries, advisors, and administrators need to remain informed and updated on the increasingly controversial, legislated, and litigated topic.

An essential resource for workers navigating their retirement and pension options, from the labor organizer's perspective. Researching retirement plans should not take the rest of your life, even if deciphering the relevant paperwork seems to have become a full-time job. Deliberately elaborate legalese is obscuring the efforts of financial elites to seize control of workers' collective retirement savings—and The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans is here to translate. Neoliberal retirement reforms have escalated elites' efforts to replace guaranteed workplace retirement plans with weak 401(k)-like savings accounts and risky stock market investment schemes. The result is arguably the largest source of labor value expropriation over the last four decades. In light of all this, what do workers need to know as they assess their future prospects—especially in terms of the security their retirement plans may or may not bring? What should union activists keep in mind as they push for the national and workplace reforms needed to produce greater retirement security? This nuts-and-bolts book provides a much-needed demystification of the retirement system. Even more than that The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans enables us to take charge of our own personal futures, as a first step towards taking back what belongs to us all.
