Plan Design and Getting Started

What is a safe harbor 401(k)?

A safe harbor 401(k) is a plan design in which the employer commits to a required level of contributions for employees in exchange for being able to skip certain annual nondiscrimination tests. It is often used by businesses whose owners or highly compensated employees want to contribute at higher levels without being limited by testing. Safe harbor plans carry specific contribution and notice requirements that an advisor or recordkeeper can walk you through.
