Webinar - Pension Administration for New Employers/Employees (All Plans)

A two-hour webinar on what you need to know if you are a new pension plan employer or a new employee (Human Resources or Payroll) to your organization.  Find answers to your questions so you can succeed at pension administration.

We have a strong team of professionals devoted to providing your organization with support. Pension administration is complex; it requires teamwork and extra time.

We will explain and navigate the employer website, showing you the different tools and resources for you as the employer.  We will review on-line resources, web services, enrolment, purchase of service, other life events and end of employment.
