Partner Patrick McGovern’s remarks are included in Colleen O’Dea’s article, “Are Employee Benefits Making A Comeback?” on Insurancenewsnet.com. A member of the firm’s Labor, Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation, Wage & Hour Compliance, and Immigration Law Practice Groups, Mr. McGovern discusses how employers have reacted to the effects of the economic recession and the Affordable Care Act, "Companies are finding a way to affordably offer insurance and not go over the maximum 9.5 percent of income charge allowed to employees… They have to be creative.” He mentions an increased interest from employers in wellness-related benefits, such as fitness center memberships or help with smoking cessation or weight loss.
