Employee Benefits, 8th Edition

Product Details

This book was prepared following four major guidelines. First, the book covers the broad spectrum of employee benefits, from social insurance programs to executive benefits. Second, the book is applicable to all sizes of employer groups, from the small employer using a multiple-employer trust to the large employer relying on alternative funding involved in designing an employee benefit plan; it doesn't just describe the products available. Finally, we have tried to write a book that can be used not only in courses given by colleges and professional organizations but also as a reference resource for practitioners.
