In Part IV, we will focus on “safety nets” for employees, and the law covering the benefits. Employers often take on responsibility for their employees’ retirement. We will start by examining health issues, including FMLA, health insurance, and COBRA. We will then look at retirement plans and contrast defined benefit with defined contribution plans. Finally, states usually create legal frameworks for compensating employees who injure themselves at work (workers’ compensation) or who lose their jobs despite not engaging in any willful misconduct (unemployment compensation).
