Modifying Pension and Benefit Plans: Success Stories

Seminar Summary

Making changes to pension and benefit plans, particularly retiree benefit plans, can be a risky proposition for employers. However, there are some legal myths in this area that have instilled undue fear. In our annual pensions seminar, we will provide you with an understanding of how pension and benefit plans can be changed – the right way – by:

• Reviewing the relevant caselaw to help you navigate the labour, employment and pension law principles
• Discussing the limits of key decisions such as Dayco (changes to retiree benefits), Wronko (changes to terms of employment) and Halliburton (changes to pension benefits), among others
