Retirement and Pension Laws

Retirement and pension laws are regulations that govern how employers provide retirement benefits to employees. These laws ensure that employees receive a secure income after they retire, through pension plans or retirement accounts. They set standards for how funds are managed, protected, and distributed, promoting fair treatment and financial security. Key laws include the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), which safeguards employee benefits and requires transparency in retirement plans. Ultimately, these laws aim to support workers in planning for their financial future after leaving the workforce.
