Editorial Reviews: Book Description The Handbook of Employee Benefits has become the definitive reference book for every benefits professional. It is required reading for the Certified Employee Benefit (CEBS) Program, thus making it the handbook professionals use when they need authoritative answers on important questions concerning objectives, cost, and implementation of effective employee benefit plans. Jerry Rosenbloom's encyclopedic handbook has become the one necessary reference for understanding and selecting the benefits plans that works best for both employees and companies. This edition of this classic has been completely revised and updated, including 18 new chapters, a new section on performance incentive programs, and over 70 expert contributors. Important changes and additions reflect today's hot issues such as healthcare, employee compensation, and use of technology through e-benefits. New material includes: In-depth discussion of key legislation, most notably The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (SBJPA); New health chapters on behavioral healthcare, disease management, alternative medicine, and elder care; Chapters on the basics of stock options, compensation management using stock options, and global stock ownership plans; Additional material on new types of retirement plans and new proposed pension legislation; Two new chapters on benefits technology applications and employee self-service through the Internet. Employee benefits are an integral, costly component of an employees' pay package (nearly 40%). The proper benefits plan is not only essential for an employees' well-being but is also critical in ensuring high levels of employee satisfaction. With the spiraling costs of benefits, employee benefits continue to play an integral part to a company's bottom line.
