The course in Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation covers the laws governing retirement plans, employer-provided health care, stock options and other executive compensation devices from a planning perspective. The course is based on a model "client" whom we advise about employer-based and union-sponsored benefit programs. Students will use basic legal concepts to advise the client about the design, implementation, and operation of stock option plans, 401(k) plans and pension plans. The class will also explore the role of employee benefit plans for labor unions, in capital markets and in mergers and acquisitions. An important component of the course is the development of planning and drafting skills. Students will work with actual plan documents in this course and those documents will form the basis for several writing projects during the semester. There will be no final exam.
