Plan Document Creation
Employers who offer benefit plans to their employees are required to maintain written plan documents and to provide them to all eligible employees.
If an employer allows their employees to pay their benefit contributions on a pretax basis, the IRS requires the employer to maintain a written Section 125 Plan. Failure to maintain these documents and to provide them to eligible employees may result in significant penalties, including the loss of the plan's pretax status. For more information click here. Plan Design
Plan design is the art of achieving multiple objectives, some of which may appear to be in conflict with one another, such as maximizing recruitment and retention while minimizing costs.
We make sure that the plan your company sponsors meets regulatory requirements while also fulfilling your corporate goals. For more information click here. |
Non-Discrimination Testing
If your company allows employees to pay their benefit contributions on a pretax basis, the IRS requires you to conduct an annual non-discrimination test.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the benefits provided to highly compensated employees comply with the IRS regulations governing pretax contribution amounts. We do not limit clients to one test per plan year; we'll do at least two - and as many as are needed to bring your plan into compliance at no additional charge. For more information click here. Form 5500 Reporting
If your company has more than 100 employees enrolled in a welfare benefit plan, you are required to file a Form 5500 annually. Plan sponsors must generally file the return on the last day of the seventh month after their plan year ends.
We can assist with the preparation and filing of the Form 5500. For more information click here. |

ACA-compliant Plan Design
Businesses that operate on razor-thin margins find the ACA's affordability requirements challenging from both cost and compliance standpoints. Businesses that are not subject to the large group ACA requirements by size yet must comply with a franchisor's requirements (such as DSP's) often seek solutions other than those the franchisor may offer.
We can help with both situations. For more information click here. |
