status drops by $8 billion in October:
The

by $8 billion during October as measured by the Milliman 100 Pension Funding

Thanks
to a combination of favorable investment experience, contribution increases,
and benefit reductions, funding levels for multiemployer plans have nearly
returned to pre-crash funding levels, at least on an aggregated basis. The
significant improvement in aggregate funded status since early 2009 reflects
not only favorable investment returns, but also contribution increases
(including withdrawal liability collections) and benefit reductions enacted by
plans as they responded to the financial crisis.

Is Your Pension Plan Underfunded?:
According
to a recent study by the Center for Retirement Research (CRRC) at Boston

A Big Pension Worry for Some Union Members:
At
issue are multiemployer plans, common in transportation, construction and some
other industries, that cover workers from many companies. Problems in some
large multiemployer plans are so severe that they are likely to bankrupt the
federal safety-net program for those pensions within the next decade, according
the government’s Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp.
The
dire conditions reported in the PBGC’s 2014 annual report raise the pressure on
Congress to address the looming crisis. The PBGC report, released Monday,
didn’t name the troubled plans, but two have previously been identified as a
United Mine Workers plan and a Teamsters Central States plan.

today face continuing challenges when it comes to managing Family and Medical

to a disability or health condition. Because the complex laws approach employee
leave from different perspectives, however, their implementation and compliance

Assessments can serve as compass for trek
through HR wilderness;
GMCS
Editorial: This is an excellent initial assessment guideline for every person
stepping into a new HR leadership role or for those simply evaluating their
current department and operations. I would also suggest that every
department also review their current recruiting strategies and systems in place
as ensuring an adequate pipeline of qualified staff is crucial for every
organization.
Busy
human resources professionals can easily get caught up in the day-to-day and
lose sight of the path they want to be on, but an assessment can guide the HR
team out of the weeds and back on the road to reaching an organization’s goals.
