BOSTON, MA, USA, December 16, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Wagner Law Group, widely recognized as the U.S. leader in employee benefits and pension-related legal services, has posted on its website a “2021 Year-End Employee Benefits Legal Compliance Checklist,” recommended as a “must read” for CEOs and HR managers. The checklist covers a wide range of subjects covered by, among other laws, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, and the Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare.

The firm's founder and managing partner, Marcia S. Wagner, called the checklist a “must read” for HR managers and C-level executives of private and publicly held companies, non-profits, and government agencies. “At the end of a year such as 2021, year two of the pandemic, it’s vitally important,” Ms. Wagner said, “that employers are not only aware of, but also compliant with, the often confusing requirements and regulations involving pensions and other employee benefits. We believe that our unique checklist will help those responsible for employee benefits understand the nuances of the law and the requirements that must be met by employers at or by the end of the year."

In addition to Boston, it has offices in Washington D.C., New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Tampa, Boynton Beach, FL, Lincoln, MA and Cedar Rapids, IA.
