Plan design / Safe Harbor
Plan design
A Safe Harbor 401(k).
A Safe Harbor 401(k) plan provides a way for employers to automatically satisfy certain IRS nondiscrimination tests. This allows highly compensated employees (HCEs) to maximize their contributions without restriction.
01 /
No ADP/ACP testing
Automatically passes the deferral and match nondiscrimination tests, eliminating that administrative burden.
02 /
Maximum contributions
HCEs can defer up to the annual IRS limit (plus catch-up contributions if eligible) without being limited by non-HCE participation.
03 /
Immediate vesting
Safe Harbor contributions are always 100% vested immediately.
04 /
Employee retention
A guaranteed employer contribution helps attract and retain quality employees.
Annual notice required. Safe Harbor plans require an annual notice to participants 30–90 days before the plan year begins. We handle this notice as part of our administration services.
