Connecticut's laws specifically govern the manner in which employers implement health plans and retirement pension payments. Recipients of such benefit plans can file claims using these laws. Furthermore, employers in Bristol are required to perform on any benefits that may have been promised to the employee in a contract when work began.

The employer often pays for some of the benefit plans, but other plans require additional voluntary contributions from the employee. Further, employees are sometimes required to work for a minimum amount of time before becoming eligible for certain benefits. Those employers who provide medical plans for employees owe particular legal duties under Connecticut law to those they cover. They must disclose important information about the health plans, and employees are entitled to a fair process in the treatment of their claims under the plan.
