Employee Benefits Services
The Goldzweig Law Group offers comprehensive support to help employers design, implement, and maintain effective employee benefits programs that align with organizational goals while meeting federal and state compliance requirements. With deep experience in employee benefits law, plan design, and regulatory oversight, the firm provides clear, actionable guidance that helps employers offer competitive, compliant benefits to attract and retain talent.
Benefits Plan Design & Strategy
We assist employers in evaluating and structuring benefits programs that meet both organizational and employee needs. This includes advising on plan types, contribution strategies, eligibility rules, communication practices, and best-in-class approaches to creating benefits packages that are competitive, financially sustainable, and compliant with legal standards. Our goal is to help employers build benefits programs that support workforce well-being and long-term business success.
Plan Documents, Policies & Employee Communications
The firm drafts, reviews, and updates plan documents, summary plan descriptions (SPDs), employee handbooks, and required notices. We ensure that all written materials are accurate, compliant, and easy for employees to understand. Clear communication helps prevent misunderstandings, improves plan utilization, and supports overall compliance.
Ongoing Compliance & Regulatory Support
Employee benefits are governed by a complex network of rules, including ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, HIPAA, COBRA, and various state laws. We help employers navigate these requirements by monitoring regulatory changes, identifying compliance gaps, and implementing processes that keep plans in good standing. Our guidance reduces risk and helps employers operate benefits programs with confidence.
Vendor & Service Provider Oversight
We work with employers to evaluate benefits administrators, insurers, brokers, and third-party vendors. Our services include reviewing contracts, assessing fee structures, monitoring service levels, and ensuring that provider relationships remain transparent and compliant. Proper vendor oversight is essential for risk management and fiduciary accountability.
Employee Eligibility, Enrollment & Plan Operations
The Goldzweig Law Group supports HR teams by clarifying eligibility rules, resolving enrollment issues, and addressing operational questions. We help ensure that plan terms are followed consistently in practice, reducing the likelihood of administrative errors that can impact employees or expose employers to regulatory issues.
HIPAA, Privacy & Benefits-Related Risk Management
We advise employers on HIPAA privacy requirements, data handling practices, and safeguarding employee health information within benefits programs. In addition, we help identify risks associated with plan administration and implement strategies to minimize exposure.
COBRA & Leave-Related Benefits Guidance
The firm provides clear guidance on COBRA continuation coverage, qualifying events, and employer obligations. We also advise on how FMLA, disability leave, and other absence-related policies interact with employee benefits plans.
Benefits Training for HR & Leadership
We offer training sessions for HR departments, leadership teams, and benefits administrators to ensure proper understanding of plan rules, communication practices, and compliance responsibilities. Knowledgeable staff are essential to maintaining smooth plan operations and preventing costly errors.
