Hagel v. United Land Co.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding plan that “provided plaintiff with income, in the form of a bonus, during the course of his employment” was not an employee pension benefit plan within the meaning of ERISA
• rejecting plaintiff's argument that bonuses he received, which were paid out in five annual installments, constituted an ERISA pension plan merely because “some portion” of his income could “happen[ ] to become due” after plaintiff resigned
• “[ERISA] requires that a plan generally defer the receipt of income to the termination of employment.” (emphasis added)
