Available through July 17, 2015

Safe Harbor provisions provide a plan design option which allows plan sponsors a way to avoid the complexity of Section 401(k) non-discrimination testing and limited deferral opportunities for HCEs. Unfortunately, Safe Harbor provisions replace the complexity of testing with a new set of complicated rules and considerations. This webcast will provide an in-depth look at common complexities and a review of challenges which could arise due to this plan design choice. Topics include a discussion of the use of safe harbor provisions in cross-tested plans, the types of amendments that can be made mid-year, what happens if a notice is not provided timely (or at all), and plan terminations.

Attendee Takeaways:

• The pros and cons of using the Safe harbor plan design and which clients it might work best for

• When testing might be needed when using a Safe Harbor plan design

• The latest guidance on terminating the Safe Harbor design
