Abstract
This Note examines employees' rights to recover employer contributed pension funds when employees are laid off in reductions in work force ("RIF") before their pension rights have vested. The impact of the pension agreement on their rights and ways to avoid its limitations are discussed. The Note also explores the possibility of a private right of action based on the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). For purposes of the Note, the layoffs are assumed to be made in good faith for valid business reasons.
