Navigating Employee Benefits in an Evolving COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically and rapidly changed workplaces in ways few organizations had imagined. Employers are dealing with remote work, layoffs, reduced hours, as well as determining how these changes will impact the operations of their employee benefit plans.  Furthermore, with the passage of recent legislation such as the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and potential passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, employers are faced with more challenges and changes.

Faegre Drinker and Multnomah Group recently held a roundtable discussion designed to provide practical advice on how those changes will impact you and what you need to know now. In this audiocast, we discussed the impact these changes have on:

• Retirement plans
• Health and welfare plans
