Employee Benefits

Few firms in the nation have achieved as much success as Hoffman & Lazear in fighting employers’ discrimination against employees based upon their pension benefit plans, or combating employers’ efforts to cheat employees out of promised benefits. For example, under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and various provisions of California law, it is unlawful for an employer to target employees for termination or prevent an employee from collecting benefits simply based upon their entitlement or future entitlement to a pension, or their need for health care related to certain pre-existing medical conditions. It is also unlawful for an employer to misappropriate an employee’s vested pension funds.

The law surrounding employee benefit plans is enormously complex, so if you are concerned your employer may be breaking the laws regarding fair administration of employee benefits, contact Hoffman & Lazear today for a free initial consultation.
