Launches Online WASHINGTON (28 September 2001) — The IEEE-USA Professional Guideline Series has gone online with two new publications. Ten Tax-Favored Ways to Save for Retirement can help you prepare for a more financially secure retirement. It is designed for individual engineers and scientists looking to compare various tax-favored ways to save for retirement and enjoy long-term financial independence. The staff-prepared publication compares seven employer-sponsored and three individual retirement savings plans in 10 areas, including advantages, disadvantages, vesting, portability and contribution limits. New features and provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 are also covered. A second online publication, Intellectual Property and the Employee Engineer will guide you on how to keep personal intellectual property separate from company intellectual property. It will benefit any technical employee who creates outside of work, moonlights, consults, has a technical hobby, has a business or is thinking of starting a business. Written by U.S. IEEE member Orin Laney, the guide covers agreements signed at the start of employment, applicable state laws that protect employee intellectual property, strategies for taking and leaving a job, and for keeping personal creations free of legal entanglements. A tutorial on patents, copyrights and other types of intellectual property is included. Every engineer should have a copy. Ten Tax-Favored Ways to Save for Retirement and Intellectual Property and the Employee Engineer are available to IEEE members in PDF format at www.ieeeusa.org/careers/Guidelines/available.html. The IEEE-USA Professional Guideline Series is a collection of monographs on various non-technical subjects relating to the career, professional and public-policy interests of the IEEE's U.S. members.
