Issues with benefit plans and pension payments arise both upon hiring an employee and when they leave the job. The state of Utah has laws governing the way that employers are allowed to administer health benefits and pension plans. Recipients and beneficiaries of these packages can file their claims under the state laws.

Furthermore, if a Sandy employer guaranteed any benefits to the employer in a contract when work began, they must make good on these. While some benefits are paid by the employer, others involve voluntary employee contributions. Additionally, employers often require that the employee work for a minimum amount of time with them before they are eligible to receive benefits.

What Employee Benefits are Protected by Utah law?

Employers who provide medical plans to their employees owe them particular legal duties according to the laws of Utah.
