It is relevantto students who plan to be general managers who deal with avariety of human resource issues in their day-to-day jobs as wellas to those who expect to be human resource practitioners. Thereal-world focus of Martocchio’s text is evident on every page,as he seeks to balance current academic thought with brief examplesof contemporary benefits practices in business. Futureemployees and managers will gain a more complete understandingof the broader context of benefits management—not onlythe how but also the why companies provide benefits they do.Future practitioners will use this book as an introductory referenceguide, one that will enable them to put benefit practicesinto their appropriate context, and to orient them toward askingthe “right” questions of experts related to employee benefits, likeaccountants, attorneys, government bodies, etc. Martocchio’sEmployee Benefits is forward-thinking and seeks to bring thetopic into the mainstream of compensation understanding.Despite its importance, benefits tend not to be very well understoodmainly because of the vast array of regulations thatgovern employee benefits practices, and because of the widevariety of practices in benefits administration due to employerstailoring their own programs for competitive advantage and tothe needs and preferences of their workforces.CONTENTSPART 1: INTRODUCTION TO EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Chapter 1: IntroducingEmployee Benefits Chapter 2: The Economics of EmployeeBenefits Chapter 3: Regulating Employee Benefits PART 2: RETIREMENTAND HEALH, DISABILITY, LIFE INSURANCE Chapter 4: Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans Chapter 5: Employer-Sponsored HealthInsurance Chapter 6: Employer-Sponsored Disability Insurance andLife Insurance Chapter 7: Government-Mandated Social Security andWorkers’ Compensation Programs PART 3: SERVICES Chapter 8: PaidTime-Off From Work Chapter 9: Accommodation and EnhancementPrograms Chapter 10: Managing the Employee Benefits SystemINVITATION TO PUBLISHMcGraw-Hill is interestedin reviewing manuscriptfor publication.
