Issues to consider when designing a retirement plan.
Between 1982 and 1987, there have been six major tax acts that have greatly affected retirement planning for not-for-profit as well as for-profit healthcare institutions. Many of the retirement plans presently being offered are fast becoming inadequate and ineffective, as the deadline for many of these new tax laws to take affect draws near. As employers begin to understand the implications these tax law changes have, they will need to reevaluate and modify their present retirement plan designs to achieve their original retirement objectives. The second article in this series on retirement plans will continue to examine the issues affecting retirement plans as well as discuss plan funding and a method for examining retirement plan objectives.
