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.

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

While data touches out lives in so many ways, virtually every day - you may not really even think about it until it's gone. 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.

The National Potato Council is not pleased with the U.S.-Japan trade agreement reached last week, and the Department of Labor's updated shutdown plan confirms the processing of H-2A temporary labor applications will resume.

Georgia's farmers don't need data to know the weather has been dry recently, but the recent Drought Monitor report confirmed as much, and the Department of Labor's updated shutdown plan confirms the processing of H-2A temporary labor applications will resume.

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

In the final hour of the show, we let Dol-fans call in and share their joy that Chris Grier is no longer GM of their team

Would you ever invite the Department of Labor to audit your company—on purpose? In this episode, Miller Johnson employment attorneys Rebecca Strauss and Sarah Willey break down the DOL's recently revived PAID (Payroll Audit Independent Determination) program. This voluntary initiative allows employers to self-report and correct wage & hour or FMLA violations—before the feds come knocking. Tune in as we explore: What the PAID program is and why it's back Who qualifies to participate (and who doesn't) Why "voluntary" doesn't mean "risk-free" The surprising pros and cons of raising your hand to the DOL

Join Traci and attorney Bryan Driscoll for this month's Policy Pulse episode covering the latest workplace regulations that demand your attention. 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. You have to put in the job posting what you will pay the employee." – Bryan DriscollConnect with Bryan Driscoll: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryanjohndriscoll/ Connect with Traci here: https://linktr.ee/HRTraci Disclaimer: Thoughts, opinions, and statements made on this podcast are not a reflection of the thoughts, opinions, and statements of the Company by whom Traci Chernoff is actively employed.Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products or services.

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.

Le budget est donc de retour à l'Assemblée Nationale, et avec lui l'une des questions les plus inflammables du débat politique en France : la taxation de l'héritage. Personne ne l'avait vu venir : à l'heure du déficit budgétaire, c'est une élue macroniste, Yaël Braun-Pivet, qui remet la taxation des successions sur la table, provoquant une levée de bouclier, en particulier à droite… Alors pourquoi le sujet reste-t-il si passionnel ?

Join us for a special episode of Retireholics this week with expert guest Financial Advisor Jim Sampson. A breakdown/analysis of Freddy B's 'Ten Products and Services with the Greatest Impact on the 401(k) Industry' : Crypto, Private Equity, Custom TDFs, Held Away Assets, Retirement Income, Capturing IRA Rollovers, PEPs, Managed Accounts, and of course Artificial Intelligence. Brian Graff and American Retirement Association ask the DOL to not favor PEPs. Todd Kading of LeafHouse has new Op-Ed on 401(k) Data tells the industry "You Don't Own The Alphabet!"

Even with regulatory barriers to including alternative assets such as private equity in defined contribution plans being removed by the Trump administration, many advisors, plan sponsors and fiduciaries are understandably hesitant to jump in.To get a better idea of what private equity investments can bring to the table, we speak with Maura Reilly Kennedy and Michelle Rappa of investment manager Neuberger Berman, a pair of highly accomplished subject matter experts when it comes to private equity and its defined contribution investment capabilities.Reilly Kennedy and Rappa talk through some innovative structures seeking to make these investments more accessible and practical for retirement savers.Key InsightsRegulatory Shift Opens Door to AlternativesA new executive order and the rollback of prior DOL guidance mark a major policy shift, signaling broader access to private equity in 401(k) plans. This regulatory momentum is encouraging plan sponsors to seriously consider alternative investments.Private Equity in 401(k)s Boosts OutcomesNeuberger Berman's research shows that adding just a 10% private equity allocation to a target-date fund can improve returns, reduce risk, and increase monthly retirement income by as much as 19%, offering meaningful impact on participant outcomes.Industry Innovation Addresses Past HurdlesInnovative structures like evergreen funds and DC-friendly wrappers (e.g., CITs) are solving challenges like illiquidity, fees, and complexity—making private markets more accessible and practical for defined contribution plans.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we cover a packed week of market-moving news. We start with reports that Bain Capital may be taking Canada Goose private, with bids valuing the luxury parka maker well above its current market cap. Next, we break down Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s latest speech at Jackson Hole, where cooling growth, sticky inflation, and tariff-driven price shocks shaped the market’s outlook on rate cuts. We also look at Scotiabank’s surprising earnings beat, why their international arm is still a drag, and whether their promise of “pruning” is finally over. On the macro front, we discuss Trump’s efforts to reshape the Federal Reserve and the U.S. government’s growing trend of taking equity stakes in strategic companies like Intel and MP Materials.

This week, we dig into the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit's new Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) collective action notice standard, the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL's) relaunched Payroll Audit Independent Determination (PAID) program, and the DOL's scaled-back approach to wage and hour investigation penalties. Seventh Circuit's New Standard for FLSA Notice  The Seventh Circuit has introduced the Richards framework, a middle-ground standard for FLSA collective actions. This decision deepens the circuit split over notices to potential plaintiffs and could lead to Supreme Court involvement. Learn how this could impact your compliance strategies. DOL Relaunches PAID Program  The DOL has relaunched the PAID program, letting employers self-report FLSA violations to avoid litigation or liquidated damages. The program now covers select Family and Medical Leave Act corrections. Discover how this voluntary option supports compliance. Wage and Hour Investigation Penalties Scaled Back A new DOL directive reduces penalties during wage and hour audits. Liquidated damages won't apply in pre-litigation investigations but may still be pursued in litigation. See how this change could affect your risk management strategies.  -- Download our Wage & Hour Guide for Employers app: https://www.ebglaw.com/wage-hour-guide-for-employers-app. Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw401 Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw-subscribe Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com This podcast is presented by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.

In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the August 2025 Executive Order by President Trump on alternative investments in 401(k) plans. He references his article in 401(k) Specialist Magazine, Private Equity in 401(k) Plans: Policy Shift or Practical Reality? and the 90 North newsletter - Private Equity in 401(k) Plans: What Fiduciaries Must Know.The order does not mandate private equity inclusion but allows plan sponsors to consider it. Eric emphasizes the need for plan sponsors to revisit their investment policies, consult advisors, and prepare participant communications. He highlights the importance of daily valuation and liquidity in 401(k) plans and advises a wait-and-see approach.

This week, we look at the potential restoration of a quorum at the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB” or “Board”), the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL's) deregulatory initiatives, and lessons from a high-profile workplace incident at a Coldplay concert. NLRB May Regain Quorum Lacking a quorum, the NLRB is currently unable to issue decisions affecting workplace policies and disputes. On July 17, 2025, President Trump nominated two Republicans to fill vacant seats on the Board. Senate confirmation of the nominees is required to restore the Board's authority and ensure continued guidance for employers. DOL Begins Deregulation Push The DOL's deregulatory agenda could reshape compliance priorities for employers. Plans include 63 actions to roll back regulations and align with federal mandates. Coldplay Concert Exposes Workplace Romance  A viral “kiss cam” moment at a recent Coldplay concert led to the resignations of a CEO and a Chief People Officer and heightened legal exposure for their company. This is a reminder that employers must implement and consistently enforce relationship policies to prevent risk and uphold workplace credibility. --  Download our Wage & Hour Guide for Employers app: https://www.ebglaw.com/wage-hour-guide-for-employers-app. Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw398 Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw-subscribe Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com This podcast is presented by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.

In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson discusses the Department of Labor's (DOL) position in the forfeiture-related case Hutchins vs. Hewlett Packard, Inc. The DOL submitted an amicus brief supporting the court's dismissal of the plaintiffs' complaint, agreeing that Hewlett Packard acted within the discretion granted by its plan document. Dyson stresses the importance of following plan documents and recommends consulting advisors, attorneys, record keepers, and TPAs to ensure compliance. He explains that plan sponsors are allowed to use forfeitures to pay plan expenses or fund employer contributions, depending on what the plan permits. Dyson warns that requiring forfeitures to always offset administrative expenses could lead employers to reduce promised benefits, such as matching contributions.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.
