Benefits compliance involves deadlines, filings, notices, and documentation that most employers don't have time to track. We help Long Island employers stay organized and avoid the problems that come from missing something.
New York employers operate under overlapping federal and state compliance requirements—ERISA, ACA, COBRA, as well as New York–specific rules such as Paid Family Leave and Disability Benefits Law. Missed deadlines, outdated notices, or inconsistent plan information can create regulatory and employee issues that surface long after decisions are made.
Compliance and benefits administration are inherently linked. The same plan details that define coverage also determine reporting, disclosures, and ongoing obligations. When these functions are handled together, requirements are tracked consistently and gaps are less likely to emerge. A coordinated approach keeps compliance organized, current, and defensible over time.
Benefits compliance isn't a one-time task—it's an ongoing process with deadlines throughout the year. Form 5500 filings, required notices, plan document updates, COBRA administration. Each has its own timeline and requirements.
We coordinate the compliance process so your HR team isn't buried in regulatory paperwork. When something needs your attention, we flag it. When deadlines approach, we remind you. When you're unsure about a requirement, we help you figure it out.
Important: We provide compliance coordination and guidance, not legal advice. When situations require legal counsel, we can connect you with an ERISA attorney who understands employee benefits law.

Situations where compliance guidance is helpful
Compliance support makes sense for employers who don't have the internal bandwidth to track every benefits-related deadline and requirement. It's particularly valuable during transitions—plan changes, company growth, carrier switches—when compliance tasks multiply.
This is most valuable when:
