Summary Plan Descriptions
(Employee Benefit Booklets)
Are your company's Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs) up to date? Do they meet current rules as updated by recent Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requirements and other federal legislation?
These plan summaries must describe an employee's rights and obligations under his or her benefit plan in a fair and unbiased manner. Do yours? Are they written clearly, concisely, and accurately?
Labor Department regulations dictate when the SPD must be distributed, exactly what information must be contained in it, how the text should be designed, and the penalties for not complying with the regulations.
**See our 
Guide to Preparing the Summary Plan
Description for what must be disclosed in your employee
benefit booklets.**
Don't just comply with these ERISA requirements for disclosure, turn disclosure into communication!!
