In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson outlines three common process hiccups he believes need to stop. He emphasizes that an Investment Policy Statement (IPS) is a binding plan document under DOL guidance and warns against including language that suggests it does not have to be followed, while still allowing for reasonable flexibility. Eric also advises fiduciaries to stop keeping meeting minutes too brief, stressing that minutes should clearly document decisions, rationale, and demonstrate prudence and loyalty. Lastly, he discusses the cautious but potential value of retaining AI-generated meeting summaries, suggesting their benefits may outweigh discovery concerns. Overall, Eric encourages fiduciaries to review these practices with advisors and ERISA counsel to strengthen compliance and governance.Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information contained herein is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.It is not intended to provide a specific recommendation of any type of product or service discussed in this presentation or to provide any warranties, financial advice, or legal advice.The specific facts and circumstances of all qualified plans can vary, and the information contained in this podcast may or may not apply to your individual circumstances or to your plan or client plan specific circumstances.The opinions expressed by guests are not necessarily agreed by, or the same opinions of 90 North Consulting or of Eric Dyson.

It seems as if American society is suffering from a nationwide carbon-monoxide leak. The Department of Homeland Security is implying that possessing "2 magazines" implies intent to commit a massacre; the right suddenly backs an anti-gun stance. Antifa is encouraging liberals, who usually hate guns, to "march with guns" against federal agents. While the right says illegals threaten "democracy" the left says arresting them threatens "democracy." Now the Department of Labor and Department of War have turned into Q-anon. The DOL posted "trust the plan" while the DOW posted "directed energy weapons." There is a plan and there are DEWs, but neither are what you think. This is what next generation psych warfare looks like; a loyalty trap, a Maoist 100 flowers campaign and a Soviet Operation Trust (the plan). The purpose of LARPING resistance groups is more complex than divide and conquer; their goal is to obtain identities and information on all forms of resistance. After blacklisting, censorship, and the like terrifies most to stand down, phase two begins; now the censorship lifts and random people obtain popularity in their driving of vulgar speech and narratives. This both justifies additional censorship in the long run, but also identifies voices to be cataloged that are far more of a threat. Make no mistake, all of it is run by official sources. As in Mao's China and the Soviet Union, certain individuals can post and say whatever they want because they facilitate the agenda of the state to draw out of hiding, or simply silence, those who would resist. If the initial shadow banning and the platforming doesn't scare people into submission, and If the next round of blacklisting and censorship fails to destroy the threat, the final stage is neutralization when the new RedTerror begins. Couple this with the “everything is fake” motif and the revolution against liberty, justice, and reality is complete.

He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in finance from James Madison University and is a member of DCIIA. Matt holds the designation of Chartered Retirement Plans Specialist℠ (CRPS®).In this episode, Eric and Matthew Patrick discuss:Personalizing investing effectivelyMeasuring success by outcomes, not benchmarksApplying a documented fiduciary frameworkPrioritizing transparency in provider selectionKey Takeaways:Managed accounts tailor portfolios using plan and participant data, often combining core and non-core funds. Their true value comes from thoughtfully aligning the portfolio design with participant needs and plan demographics.Traditional benchmarking struggles when each participant has a unique portfolio. Committees should evaluate fees, engagement, and behavioral changes like savings rates and retirement readiness to gauge meaningful impact.DOL target-date guidance provides a practical model for evaluation. Committees should review methodology, underlying investments, fees versus value, fiduciary roles, and plan fit, while thoroughly documenting their rationale and process.Managed accounts can be offered by third parties, recordkeepers, or advisor-managed structures. Committees must clearly understand payments, fiduciary responsibilities, and ensure the sponsor actively engages and oversees participant outcomes.“You've got to start with best fit. You've got to start with appropriateness.” - Matthew PatrickConnect with Matthew Patrick:Website: https://www.captrust.com/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-patrick-39759555 Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast are general in nature and are provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

Kristen Deere is a Director in the Employee Benefit Plan Audit Services practice at Weaver & Tidwell, LLP. With over 20 years of experience in public accounting, she has specialized in auditing employee benefit plans throughout most of her career. Kristen leads audits for both private and public plan sponsors, covering a wide range of plan types, including defined contribution (401(k), 403(b), ESOP, 11-K), defined benefit, and health & welfare plans. Kristen has led audits for plans ranging from under $1 million to over $45 billion in assets, ensuring compliance with complex ERISA, DOL, and SEC compliance requirements. Her industry expertise spans not-for-profit organizations, government entities, financial services, energy, and a diverse portfolio of employee benefit plan administrators. She also champions technology innovation initiatives that enhance audit quality and efficiency. In this episode, Eric and Kristen Deere discuss:Understanding why benefit plan audits existUsing technology to reduce audit burdenPreparing proactively for smooth auditsFollowing the plan document above all elseKey Takeaways:Department of Labor audits are required for large plans to confirm that operations follow the plan document. Their goal is to protect participants and ensure promised benefits are delivered accurately. Audits may surface issues or risks, but they are not designed as fraud detection guarantees.Employee benefit plan audits rely heavily on payroll, census, and record-keeper data. Audit software, structured spreadsheets, and direct system access improve accuracy and efficiency. When used well, technology makes audits less disruptive for plan sponsors.Successful plan sponsors stay organized throughout the year, not just during audit season. They maintain clear documentation, communicate changes early, and reconcile data regularly. This preparation prevents last-minute scrambles and repeated audit findings.Most audit issues trace back to operations drifting from the written plan document. Payroll, record keepers, and processes must all align with what the plan actually says. Reading, understanding, and following the document is the strongest safeguard against errors.“They can outsource the function, but they can't outsource the responsibility.” - Kristen DeereConnect with Kristen Deere:Website: https://weaver.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristen-derryberry/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast are general in nature and are provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

While the recent DOL guidance provides long-awaited clarity on FMLA and FLSA compliance, the rapid expansion of state-level paid leave mandates is adding a new layer of regulatory risk. Key Takeaways for Employers: Business Closures: Whether a partial-week business closure can be counted as FMLA leave depends on whether the employee was on FMLA leave for the entire workweek. Travel Time: FMLA leave may be used for travel time to and from medical appointments, even if the time is not specified on the medical certification. State-Level Leave: Thirteen states and the District of Columbia now have paid leave laws that interact with the FMLA, creating a complex compliance landscape. In this episode of Employment Law This Week®, Epstein Becker Green attorney Genevieve Murphy-Bradacs discusses what these FMLA clarifications and the patchwork of state laws mean for employers.

»Kjer je dobrota in ljubezen, tam je Bog«. To je bilo novomašno geslo Alojzija Grebenca – besede, ki ga spremljajo že vseh 50 let mašništva. V tokratnem sobotnem popoldnevu ste ga lahko pobliže spoznali: njegovo življenjsko in duhovniško pot, ki ga je pripeljala do zlatomašnika. Alojzij Grebenc je župnik v župniji Dol pri Ljubljani, dekan dekanije Ljubljana-Moste in od leta 2021 tudi častni kanonik stolnega kapitlja v Ljubljani. Sicer pa človek, ki si prizadeva za sožitje vseh ljudi in verjame, da lepa beseda vedno lepo mesto najde.

‘Tis the season for “best of,” “most,” and of course, “naughty and nice” list making.  In this episode Nevin (Adams) and Fred (Reish) share theirs with regard to retirement plans.In that holiday classic “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,”Santa is said to be “making a list and checking it twice…” all with the purpose of finding out “who's naughty and nice.” Well, in this special holiday-inspired episode, Nevin and Fred share their lists.  So, who/what is going to wind up with a lump of coal in their stocking?Here are our lists:Naughty 1. Surveys that promote bogus data to generate business for themselves.  Scare techniques generally, including by those who use surveys and studies to do that.2. Frivolous lawsuits - given multiple chances to make their claim(s) - the forfeiture suits primarily (note:  some of that comes from apparent conflicts in the laws and regulations…for example, the IRS says that using forfeitures to offset contributions is possible, but the DOL says that, if left to discretion, it is a fiduciary duty that must be in the best interest of participants.3. Social Security looming shortfalls left unaddressed - and everyone says it won't be a problem.  4. The lack of any integrated fiduciary/institutional answer to retirement income. Although the steps taken, e.g., the SECURE Act, are “nice.”5. The complexity of the laws governing qualified plans, especially when it comes to small employers.Nice1. Signs that people are saving more and better. Evidence in PSCA, Vanguard and Fidelity surveys.  The very low costs of saving through 401(k) plans as compared to retail (andpartially the plaintiffs' attorneys who have contributed to that).2. DOL backing plan fiduciaries on the forfeiture reallocation suit.   3. More personalized target-date funds/managed accounts.4. Pooled Employer plans (though keep an eye on themarketing and administration of these programs down the road).5. Mandatory automatic enrollment for new 401(k) and 403(b) plans.6. Retirement issues continue to be a bipartisan issue mostly). Episode Resources:Misleading headlines/surveysTalking Points: Third Time No Charm in ‘Forgotten Account' FantasyTalking Points: IRA ‘Junk' BunkNo 'Magic' in These 401(k) Retirement NumbersTalking Points: A Red Flag for a ‘Red Flag' Report).Social Security'Nothing' Doing About Social Security?Forfeiture StuffDOL Backs HP in Forfeiture Reallocation Suit AppealSECURE 2.0 and Retirement IncomeSECURE Act and Guaranteed Income (Part 3) - Fred Reish6 Obstacles to Retirement Income AdoptionPEPsNevin & Fred: Could a Predominant PEPs Prediction Prove Positive?Automatic EnrollmentThe SECURE Act 2.0: The Most Impactful Provisions (#1–Automatic Plans) - Fred ReishThe SECURE Act 2.0: The Most Impactful Provisions #13 — Starter 401(k) Plans and Safe Harbor 403(b) Plans - Fred ReishThings I Worry About (6): Automatic Enrollment (5) and PEPs - Fred Reish

Simon and Dan break down Canada’s latest CPI print and why inflation data doesn’t always match what you see at the grocery store.

A listener's nightmare 401(k) story sparks a deep dive into how small employers can delay, misuse, or even lose employee retirement contributions before they ever reach the plan custodian. Don and Tom explain the Department of Labor's weak enforcement, why small plans are most vulnerable, and what workers must do to protect themselves. Then the show tackles backdoor Roth timing rules, Social Security “worst-case” planning, the appeal (or lack of) of mid-cap ETFs, and how to unwind a hodgepodge portfolio without triggering massive tax bills. :04 When employers steal 401(k) contributions before depositing them 1:42 The WSJ case: three-year hunt for missing contributions 3:02 Why small employers are the highest-risk group 5:02 DOL enforcement loopholes and the “administratively feasible” dodge 7:04 What to do if your contributions never show up 8:09 Fidelity bonds, audits, and how recovery really works 9:39 Big-company plans vs. small plans 10:36 Inside the Amazon layoff notice fiasco 11:54 Listener question: timing a backdoor Roth in 2026 for the 2025 tax year 13:40 The Form 8606 trap and pro-rata consequences 15:03 Listener question: Should you assume Social Security cuts in your plan? 16:41 Why benefits probably won't be cut—even though the system needs fixing 18:04 Listener question: Should anyone buy a mid-cap ETF? 18:46 Why good portfolios already own plenty of mid-caps 19:36 Listener question: Fixing 20 years of hodgepodge-itis at age 72 21:22 Taxes, capital gains, and the slow cleanup strategy 23:52 Why Wellington and Wellesley don't fit a modern portfolio 25:20 Personal banter: vacations, spending guilt, and sci-fi Learn more about your ad choices.

Support Us :Donation Page – LibriVox Free AudiobooksAn outbreak of plague in London forces a gentleman, Lovewit, to flee temporarily to the country, leaving his house under the sole charge of his butler, Jeremy. Jeremy uses the opportunity given to him to use the house as the headquarters for fraudulent acts. He transforms himself into 'Captain Face', and enlists the aid of Subtle, a fellow conman and Dol Common, a prostitute. In The Alchemist, Jonson unashamedly satirizes the follies, vanities and vices of mankind, most notably greed-induced credulity. People of all social classes are subject to Jonson's ruthless, satirical wit. He mocks human weakness and gullibility to advertising and to "miracle cures" with the character of Sir Epicure Mammon, who dreams of drinking the elixir of youth and enjoying fantastic sexual conquests. The Alchemist focuses on what happens when one human being seeks advantage over another. In a big city like London, this process of advantage-seeking is rife. The trio of con-artists - Subtle, Face and Dol - are self-deluding small-timers, ultimately undone by the same human weaknesses they exploit in their victims.

Entre prouesses technologiques et chutes spectaculaires, 2025 marque le véritable départ de la robotique humanoïde. Une course mondiale s'engage entre États-Unis, Chine et Europe.La chute d'A.I.Dol, symbole d'une robotique en apprentissageEn novembre à Moscou, le robot russe A.I.Dol s'est effondré dès son entrée en scène. Pensé pour incarner la puissance technologique du pays, il est devenu malgré lui le symbole des limites actuelles de la robotique humanoïde. L'épisode a fait rire le monde entier, mais il illustre surtout une vérité : la route vers des machines capables d'évoluer naturellement dans notre environnement humain reste longue et semée d'embûches.2025, du laboratoire à la mise en situation réelleCette année, les humanoïdes sortent enfin des labos. Aux États-Unis, Tesla teste Optimus dans ses usines ; Figure AI, soutenue par OpenAI, présente un robot capable d'effectuer des tâches ménagères. En Chine, la mobilisation est massive : des dizaines d'entreprises, soutenues par l'État, développent des robots pour l'industrie et la santé. Même les « marathons de robots » se multiplient à Pékin, preuve d'une émulation sans précédent. La robotique humanoïde est devenue un enjeu stratégique national.L'Europe avance prudemment mais sûrementSur le continent européen, la philosophie est différente : prudente, humaniste, réfléchie. En France, Wandercraft prépare Calvin 40 pour les usines ; au Royaume-Uni, Ameca fascine par ses expressions réalistes ; en Norvège, 1X Technologies commercialise Iron, un humanoïde encore maladroit mais prometteur. L'Europe mise sur la coopération homme-machine plutôt que sur la substitution. Cette approche, parfois jugée lente, pourrait pourtant s'avérer payante sur le long terme.Une course mondiale encore balbutianteAucun humanoïde n'est encore autonome. Tous sont partiellement télécommandés, corrigés par des opérateurs humains. Mais chaque chute, chaque essai, alimente les algorithmes d'apprentissage. 2025 n'est pas l'année des robots parfaits, mais celle du coup d'envoi. Et comme toujours dans la tech, celui qui part au bon moment – ni trop tôt, ni trop tard – pourrait bien remporter la course.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

So we're bringing back one of the leaders from the Connecticut Data Collaborative to talk about what's going missing, what her team is doing about it, and to invite you to be part of the upcoming Data For Democracy Conference - even if you have no idea how data impacts your life, job, or community. Then we're replaying a couple of key interviews we produced earlier in 2025 starting with the leader of  Arts for Learning CT, which is working hard to inspire young people and expand their learning through the arts. You'll learn how their affiliated artists, partners, and supporters are developing strategic partnerships to reach shared goals for young people and our state. And we'll closereplaying our interview with a rep from the Connecticut Dept. of Labor, talking about workforce development, trends that are developing, and the ways the DOL can help you - whether you are employed and looking to step things up, or you are seeking employment somewhere across our state.

When a pair of high-profile internet outages took down large chunks of the internet last month, the events briefly brought hundreds of organizations to a near-halt and prevented millions of users from accessing core services for everyday business needs. From Starbucks to crypto exchanges to the messaging app Signal, the outages rippled across nearly every sector, shining a spotlight onto the country's — and even the government's — reliance on a mere handful of cloud service providers. In the wake of those incidents, watchdog groups are calling on federal regulators to scrutinize the role that massive cloud companies like Amazon and Microsoft play in owning and maintaining much of our collective backend IT infrastructure. Meanwhile, technology and cybersecurity experts point out that, because of financial and business realities, there are very few alternatives to the large companies that now dominate the market. The Amazon Web Services outage began Oct. 19 and lasted into Oct. 20. According to Amazon's post-mortem, a single software bug in DynamoDB — the system that manages website addresses, along with efforts to repair it — caused all services in the Northern Virginia region that relied on the tool to go down for 15 hours. Just over a week later, Microsoft's Azure cloud platform experienced an outage impacting several of its services. According to Microsoft, an “inadvertent tenant configuration change” occurred in Azure Front Door, the company's content delivery network. The outages exposed just how fragile the country's digital infrastructure is and showed the risks of letting a few companies hold so much power. As a result, some groups are urging federal regulators to address the issue. Federal agencies would be required to report artificial intelligence-related layoffs to the Department of Labor under a new bill from a bipartisan pair of senators. The AI-Related Job Impacts Clarity Act from Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va., and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., calls on agencies and major companies to deliver quarterly reports to DOL on the impact AI has on their workforces, detailing job cuts and displacements. Hawley said in a press release“Artificial intelligence is already replacing American workers, and experts project AI could drive unemployment up to 10-20% in the next five years. The American people need to have an accurate understanding of how AI is affecting our workforce, so we can ensure that AI works for the people, not the other way around.” The bill would also require agencies and companies to report hirings that can be “substantially” credited to AI, as well as the number of individuals they are retraining because of AI. There's also a callout to keep track of open positions an agency or company decided not to fill because of automation. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

This week, we're covering the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL's) launch of Project Firewall to enforce H-1B visa compliance and new guidance on stand-alone fertility benefits, as well as a federal court ruling voiding gender identity protections.  Project Firewall: An H-1B Enforcement Initiative The DOL has introduced Project Firewall, an initiative to enforce compliance with H-1B visa regulations. The program aims to ensure employers follow federal guidelines while balancing U.S. workers' rights and businesses' needs for skilled foreign labor. DOL Issues Guidance for Fertility Treatments Employers can now offer stand-alone fertility benefits, such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF) coverage, as "excepted benefits" separate from traditional health plans under new guidance from the DOL. Federal Judge Strikes Down Gender Identity Protections A federal judge in the Southern District of Mississippi has voided a Biden-era rule that extended sex discrimination protections under the Affordable Care Act to include gender identity, raising questions about the future of gender-affirming care protections. - Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw411 Download our Wage & Hour Guide for Employers app: https://www.ebglaw.com/wage-hour-guide-for-employers-app. Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw-subscribe Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com This podcast is presented by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.

When there is big news we want to hear from the listeners so the phone lines were open. We take calls from Dol-fans who are happy that Chris Grier is no ;loner GM who they would like to be the next GM and the first order of business they need to take care of when they hired?

In the first hour of the show, Leroy & Donno talk about the Dolphins loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night football 28-6. The stadium felt lifeless, with fans wearing brown paper bags over their faces. The team is now 2-7 with no signs of hope, what will the team do now cause it was embarrassing to watch this team not score any points in the 2nd half and hear many Raven fans drown out Dol-fans at Hard Rock stadium ? We touched a little on the Heat losing to the Spurs 107-101on the road behind Victor Wembanyama 27 points and18 rebounds

Together they break down the DOL's new emergency pay ruling, a shocking discrimination lawsuit, California's pay transparency expansion, and Supreme Court cases that could reshape federal workplace regulation.Spoiler alert: Emergency pay just became part of your overtime calculation headache, and California is done with fake pay ranges.This episode unpacks how the Department of Labor now requires emergency and hazard pay to be included when calculating overtime rates, making your payroll significantly more complex. You'll also hear about the EEOC's lawsuit against a staffing firm that honored male-only hiring requests and why this puts all recruiters on notice. Discover how California's strengthened pay transparency law demands "good faith" ranges that include total comp, not theoretical maximums, plus why the Supreme Court's upcoming term could create wild policy swings for the NLRB and EEOC.What We Cover:– DOL's new emergency pay overtime requirement– The staffing firm's male-only hiring lawsuit– California's "good faith" pay range mandate– Why vendor compliance doesn't absolve employer liability– Supreme Court cases threatening independent agencies– The ERISA fiduciary risks HR overlooksKey Quote: "California now says you can't put in a job description what you could pay an employee.

As Halloween approaches, and thoughts turn to ghosts,goblins and things that go bump in the night, Nevin (Adams) & Fred (Reish) turned their focus to things that SHOULD have the attention of (and perhaps even scare) plan fiduciaries.Now, there are lots of things that require careful attention, selection and monitoring of plan assets and services by planfiduciaries; advisors and plan sponsors alike. But there are some things that may sneak up on even the most attentivefiduciary – things like:Your target-date fund glidepath(s) – Is it “to”retirement or “through” retirement, is it appropriate for your participant base, and do THEY know what it is (particularly at the projected date of retirement)?The degree of personalization in a “managed” account– How personalized is it, what data elements are considered, is the cost (relative to a target-date fund alternative) reasonable for the value provided, and who pays it?  Is it structured as a qualified default investment alternative (QDIA)? Cybersecurity – What provision(s) have your providersmade in securing participant data (particularly in view of the sample questions provided by the Labor Department), and are you prepared to deal with those questions in a DOL audit?    Participants that leave their accounts “behind” – Whatprocedures do you have in place to communicate with, and in some cases track down for distributing benefits?  Are youable to appropriately track and administer required minimum distributions (RMD)?Ignorance of fees – Do you know what fees are being paid by the plan, to whom, for what, and how? Personal liability – Plan fiduciaries are personally liable for the actions they take (or don't) with regard to plan administration.  Traditional organizational insurance policies don't cover that, nor does the fiduciary bond required. What provision(s) have you made to insure against that possibility?Episode Resources5 Things That (Should) Scare Plan Fiduciaries Target- Date FundsDOL: Target Date Retirement Funds - Tips for ERISA Plan FiduciariesCybersecurityDOL Cybersecurity Program Best PracticesTips for Hiring a Service Provider with Strong Cybersecurity PracticesCybersecurity tips for participantsParticipant “Leave Behinds”National Registry of Unclaimed RetirementBenefits: https://www.unclaimedretirementbenefits.com/A nationwide, secure database listing of retirement planaccount balances that have been left unclaimed by former participants of retirement plans.Retirement Savings Lost and Found Database: https://lostandfound.dol.gov/EBSA is helping America's workers and beneficiaries searchfor retirement plans that may still owe them benefits by establishing a public Retirement Savings Lost and Found Database through the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022.
