Wrap Plans: What Are They, How Do They Work, Should I Get One?

Any employer that has more than one employee welfare benefit plan knows the frustration of trying to gather all of the documentation for all of its plans, then determining whether the documentation includes everything that is required by ERISA, and whether the documentation is sufficient to communicate rights and benefits information to employees while also protecting the employer. Sometimes, bundling welfare plans together with the use of a "wrap plan" can make life easier (and safer) for employers. This recorded webinar will explain what wrap plans are, how they function, and how to decide whether you should use one.
