“As an Employee Benefits Investigator, I investigate potential mismanagement and wrongdoing by employers involving benefit plans they offer to their employees. Every worker should feel secure about their employee benefit plans such as their 401(k) plan and their health care plan, and I take pride in knowing that I play a small part in protecting these benefits that employees are entitled to and rely on.”
