  4. What is a 401(k) Plan? • A type of qualified retirement plan • A plan established by the employer (franchisee) • A plan where contributions can be made by the employee and/or employer

  6. Who contributes to a 401(k) plan? • Both employees and employer may contribute • Employee contributions are made by pre-tax deferrals • Employer contributions are discretionary and may be either matching contributions or profit sharing contributions

  7. What is a “Safe Harbor 401(k)” plan? As a general rule, a 401(k) plan must satisfy non-discrimination requirements. Many small businesses find this hard to do, and as a result, owners and highly compensated employees may be limited to the amount they can contribute to the plan. Plans now have alternative, simplified methods of meeting the non-discrimination requirements. 401(k) plans that adopt one of these alternative methods are referred to as “safe harbor 401(k)” plans.

  8. Should I use a “Safe Harbor 401(k)” Plan? • Key Features • VESTING • All employee and employer safe harbor matching or non-elective contributions are 100% vested immediately. • CONTRIBUTIONS • The employer may elect either a matching formula or a non-elective formula of eligible employee compensation to satisfy IRS “safe harbor” requirements. • $1/$1 up to 4% for all participating employees OR • 3% non-elective deferral of all eligible employees, whether or not they are participating. • Key Advantages • PLAN COMPLIANCE • Safe Harbor 401(k) plans do not require extensive discrimination testing.

  9. Can I roll my current retirement plan over? • Existing 401(k), profit sharing, pension, HR-10/Keogh, IRA’s, SIMPLE IRA’s, and SEP Plans can be transferred. • Roth IRA’s and Roth 401(k)’s cannot be transferred to this plan.
