The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is a federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established retirement and health plans in private industry to provide protection for individuals in these plans.

ERISA applies to a wide range of employee benefits – pensions, 401(k) and 403(b) plans (non-government employees), disability, health, and life insurance benefits, along with severance and other benefits administered by employers.

For plans with fewer than 100 participants, the minimum coverage required is $1,000. For plans with 100 or more participants, the minimum coverage required is 10% of the plan's assets, up to a maximum of $500,000. Additional coverage may be required if the plan includes nonqualifying assets.

ERISA stands for Employee Retirement Income Security Act, which is a federal law that sets minimum standards for retirement plans in the private sector. Non-ERISA plans, on the other hand, are not governed by ERISA and are not subject to its regulations.

Workers' Compensation insurance is mandatory for most employers in Florida. Employers should have knowledge of the workers' compensation coverage requirements to ensure that they are complying with the law. Failure to have workers' compensation insurance puts employees at risk and subjects employers to penalties.
