"Regardless of what happens to the Bush proposal, employers know that helping employees plan for retirement gets more complicated all the time," observed Compensation.BLR.com Managing Web Editor Kevin Flood. "Social Security alone won't provide a comfortable retirement, and there's an ever-growing array of additional savings programs available401(k)s, IRA, Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), annuities, and 403(b)s, to name a few."
That's why Business and Legal Reports (BLR), the parent company of Compensation.BLR.com, has prepared a special report, "HR Manager's Guide: Employee Retirement Options Simplified." The report helps employers anticipate and answer their employees' questions about whatever options they have for retirement savings. It can be downloaded at: http://www.blr.com/82008500/PRS4.
