NEW! Department of Labor Audit Guide & Checklist Available

The Michigan Business & Professional Association (MBPA) has assembled a valuable tool to assist your business should the Department of Labor (DOL) send you an investigatory letter informing you that they will be auditing your employee health plan. The DOL has the authority to conduct an investigation of your employee benefits plan to ensure that it conforms to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and can focus on areas from reporting, to fiduciary obligations, to disclosure requirements.  Recently, the DOL’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) has expanded its scope to include the enforcement of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) also known as Health Care Reform to ensure compliance.  

As a member of the MBPA, this audit guide & checklist will inform you of the various audits the DOL can investigate a business for such as I-9 audit, ERISA audit, and Wages & Hour Audit. This checklist is also available to assist independent agents who counsel their business clients. Click here to access the DOL Audit Guide and Checklist.
