Businesses are seeking to keep the IRS from enforcement actions that would impose large penalties on employers who didnt provide health coverage to their employees. And they may have some political allies.
The California Public Employees Retirement System is weighing whether to shorten the amortization period for new pension liabilities from 30 years to 20, which might push some local governments into bankruptcy.
Home Depot Inc. says it has an edge in the battle for hourly workers in a tight labor market: making applying and scheduling an interview really easy, with only a smartphone.
The technology used by Facebook, Google and Amazon to turn spoken language into text, recognize faces and target advertising could help doctors combat one of the deadliest killers in American hospitals.
The U.S. health-care industry is folding in on itself amid pressure to cut costs and defend against outsiders, and a potential deal between Walgreens and AmerisourceBergen Corp. would take two major pieces off the table.
According to the most recent survey on vision benefits from Transitions Optical, millennial and Gen Z employees are significantly less likely to enroll in or utilize a vision plan than their older peers.
Stunt men and women typically reach age 40 or 50 with years of accumulated injuries that make it increasingly hard to work -- so will their pension plan trustees lower the full retirement age?
