ERISA requires plans to provide participants with plan information including important information about plan features and funding; provides fiduciary responsibilities for those who manage and control plan assets; requires plans to establish a grievance and appeals process for participants to get benefits from their plans; and gives participants the right to sue for benefits and breaches of fiduciary duty. Attorneys may represent employees or they may represent the company in the design, preparation, and review of plan, trust, and employee communication documents to implement pension, profit sharing, employee stock ownership, fringe benefit, flexible benefit, and all types of employee welfare plans.
Noyes is an unincorporated community in St. Vincent Township, Kittson County, Minnesota, United States. Located in the extreme northwestern corner of the state, it was an important border-crossing location going back to the days of ox roads. It is the northern terminus of U.S. Route 75 and the site where the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe and Soo Line Railroads enter Canada. With the development of Interstate 29 on the opposite side of the nearby North Dakota border, U.S. Route 75 has declined in importance, and the corresponding Canadian border crossing in Emerson, Manitoba closed in 1999. With the duty-free store closed, Noyes is close to becoming a ghost town.
