The deadline for 5500 Form filing is quickly approaching.

Form 5500 requirements are more nuanced than most employers realize and common assumptions about participant counts, filing deadlines, and insurance carrier responsibilities can lead to real compliance gaps. Our latest blog breaks down seven myths that cause filing mistakes, and what you need to know instead.

When it comes to employee benefits compliance, few requirements create more confusion than Form 5500. Every year, employers discover that assumptions they have made about their welfare benefit plans may not align with Department of Labor (DOL) reporting requirements.

Take a Child to Work Day is a small but telling example of how an organization actually operates.

It's one of those traditions that tends to reveal whether inclusion is embedded in how a company works or simply stated in its values. Whether people leaders are given clear direction or left to figure it out on their own. Whether HR is driving the experience or reacting to it.

With April 24th approaching, it's worth asking: does your organization have a thoughtful plan in place? One that accounts for remote teams, compliance considerations, and employees without children?

👇We'd love to hear how your team is approaching it this year.

🚨 AI is Changing HR… But It Can’t Replace It
AI can help set the tone, but it can’t replace the human in Human Resources.

As our CEO, Austin Spencer, says:

So what should HR be doing with AI, and what should it avoid?
Where does AI support, and where does it fall short?
