38) Employer contributions
in your existing plan:
|
Your company can contribute to plan participants' accounts in any of three ways:
(1) regular matching contributions,
(2) discretionary employer contributions, and/or
(3) qualified nonelective contributions.
Regular matching contributions (RMCs) are defined in terms of participant's elective contribution (e.g., 50¢ contributed by the employer for each dollar contributed by the plan participant). Discretionary employer contributions (DECs) are basically profit-sharing contributions, although the employer's contribution does not have to be limited to net profits. Qualified nonelective contributions (QNECs) are allocated on the basis of compensation or some other variable aside from a participant's elective contribution; they are made to ALL eligible employees regardless of whether or not the employee contributes to or participates in the 401(k) plan -- unless the QNEC is being used to satisfy ADP or ACP test corrections. As for vesting, RMCs and DECs can be subject to vesting schedules, but QNECs are always 100% vested to employees' accounts when made.

"Vesting" herein refers to ownership of employer contributions. It is a way to reward continued employment with your company. For instance, if you pick Schedule D below for any profit-sharing contributions made and a plan participant leaves your company after 2 years, he or she will only be entitled to 20% of any profit sharing contributions made to his or her account. The remainder will go into a pool that your company can choose to use for employer contributions owed to other participants.
What vesting formula do you want to use for any matching and/or profit-sharing contributions (qualified nonelective contributions, by law, are 100% vested when made)? Mark your choice for profit-sharing contributions in column P-S Contribs and for matching contributions in column Match Contribs.
