ICMS works collaboratively with management and staff to:

• • Manage leaves of absence in compliance with FMLA, ADA and contractual standards.
• • Ensure compliance with state and federal employment laws; process CHRO, EEOC and FLSA complaints.
• • Conduct due diligence with regard to departmental restructuring and reviewing requests for layoffs.

ICMS can help you determine whether your benefits plans and your HR Programs comply with legal requirements and guidelines related to plan design, administration, filing, communication and records maintenance. We can perform limited compliance reviews or extensive audits to help identify and correct mistakes.

As compliance with ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code has become more complex, creating and maintaining accurate and complete plan documents and summary plan descriptions has become more critical to plan administration. ICMS assists clients with plan documents and summary plan descriptions (SPDs) through our partnership with a respected outside law firm.

Using continually updated software, we produce signature-ready Forms 5500 with instructions. We also can produce summary annual reports as well as compliant policies.
