Although the architects of COBRA had sound and compassionate motivations in place, administration of and compliance with this law are far from easy. COBRA assists employees that lose their jobs by allowing them to purchase insurance benefits from their former employer. Outsourcing COBRA administration can be the best way for some employers to cope with COBRA regulations, contingencies and paperwork and avoid legal fees and penalties. But look for COBRA providers that have a sound track record.
尽管《综合预算协调法案》(COBRA)的制定者有着合理且人道的动机,但实施和遵守该法律绝非易事。COBRA通过允许失业员工从前雇主那里购买保险福利来为他们提供帮助。对于一些雇主而言,将COBRA管理工作外包可能是应对COBRA法规、突发事件及文书工作并避免法律费用和处罚的最佳方式。但要寻找有着良好业绩记录的COBRA服务提供商。
