multiemployer pension and benefit plans
Employee pension and welfare plans involving more than one employer. Multiemployer
plans are most often set up by manufacturing firms within the same industry
or governmental entities that draw their workforce from unions. From a fiduciary
liability underwriting standpoint, additional risks are posed by multiemployer
benefit plans compared with those generated by single-employer programs. Since
multiemployer plans are usually larger and more complex than single-employer
plans, claim frequency and claim severity tend to be higher, a fact reflected
in higher premium rates for multiemployer plans.
