Ergonomics Minimum standards for private sector pension plans and health care plans were established under ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

The assumption here is that counselor burnout may be heightened as a result of the diversity of students who attend post secondary educational institutions, and the variety of services the 2-year postsecondary counselors must provide to these students.
