Organizations need to identify critical benefits and rewards programs that impact
recruitment/selection and retention required to maintain a superior talent pool. The
primary reason companies offer total rewards benefit packages is an increased ability to
recruit/retain top talent. However, federal and state law also dictates mandated benefits
not related to wages.
Instructions:
• Describe at least two benefits/rewards mandated by federal law.
• Describe at least two benefits/rewards required by the laws in your state.
• Explain why each is important.
• Explain why each may be “mandated.”
