ERISA Requirements for Employee Retirement Investment Plans

ERISA is a federal law that regulates employee benefit plans. For an employer to receive favorable tax treatment for benefit plans, it must comply with ERISA. 

The most interesting employment law claims arising under ERISA ask which employees qualify for employer benefits. A central tenet of ERISA is that plans must carefully define who receives qualified benefits and who does not. Thorny issues surround workers placed with an employer through payroll services, which many employers misclassify as 'independent contractors.'
