Plan Design
We take several approaches to design
Discussion of your objectives, we have a series of probing targeted questions that help us understand your goals
Your Objectives maybe:
· Maximize your contributions/ benefits
· Maximize contributions/ benefits for key classes of employees
· Provide an environment to help employees save for retirement
· Divide the profits of the company proportionately based on employee effort and contribution to the company’s success
· Allocate the profits of the company to all employees
Our Tools:
· We can use combinations of the following to meet your goals
o Employee contributions like; Pre-tax 401(k) and Roth 401(k)
o Employer contributions like; Matching, Safe Harbor, and/ or Employer Discretionary contributions
· The allocation of employer contributions can provide flexibility
· Defined benefit plans can be set up as tiered allocations, targeted retirement benefit, budgeted amounts or a Cash Balance plan.
Plan design also includes; plan entry requirements, excluded employees, loans, normal retrement age or distributions.
Plan design is putting the pieces together in a unified matter. It can be a continuous process as the company's demographics change as new key employees are hired, and as the goals of the retirement plan change so should the design.
