I have been working in the Human Resources field for about 20 years.  Yes, I know, the evil HR department!  But I enjoy the work – it’s challenging, and I genuinely feel like I can make a positive difference in employees’ lives.

Why write about benefits?  On a personal level, I find the intricate interaction between law and policy very interesting (benefits are considered a subset of taxation law).  While there’s a lot of rules for employers to follow, they also have a surprising amount of flexibility within that legal structure.  All this means you’ll find a lot of variation among employers.  But I’ve found that many people have a hard time figuring out what all these benefit plans can do for them and struggle simply to choose the right options.

I’m also a perpetual student and have acquired the habit of collecting degrees.  The day I returned to work after taking the bar exam, a co-worker asked when I was going to start on the Ph.D.  And she was serious.

And I’m thinking about it…
