What should employers be doing now to make sure they’re compliant in 2010? Join Edward C. Fensholt, Senior Vp and Director of Compliance Services for Lockton Benefit Group, and Rita McCaskill, Senior Consultant in the Health and Productivity practice of Watson Wyatt Worldwide, as they explore the new law and what employers must do now to be prepared.
