Hewitt's monthly reports summarize retirement and financial management legislative developments and trends from around the world.

Our Global Retirement Update summarizes recent legislative developments and trends related to retirement and financial management and highlights recently passed and pending legislation that may require employers to take action to comply with new rules or review existing plans. It is published monthly in PDF format.

Action May Be Required:

In Ireland, same-sex couples in civil relationships will soon have equal rights to married couples and receive the same statutory protections with regard to pension rights. In 2008, the European Court of Justice ruled that EU Member States that treat same-sex partnerships similarly to marriage require occupational pension plans to provide same-sex partners with benefits. Employers may wish to review their plan provisions in light of the new civil partnership law. In Mexico, the Institute for Social Security (IMSS) has decided that it will not reduce pension benefits for individuals enrolled in the IMSS before 1997 and participating in the transitional system from 25 to 10 times the minimum wage for the Federal District.
