4 Written Document Requirements Plan must include specific provisions, depending on plan features Amendments Required by new law IRS sets deadline Optional Generally end of year, but no retroactive cutbacks 4
5 IRS Determination Letter Highly recommended but not required 5-Year Filing Cycle IRS establishes deadline based on Employer EIN Prototype/Volume Submitter Form document prepared by bank or recordkeeper Preapproved by IRS Employer chooses from menu of plan terms Can rely on IRS letter issued to prototype sponsor 5
6 Qualified Plan Types Defined Contribution Benefit based on account balance Defined Benefits Benefit based on formula 6
7 Overview of Qualification Rules Eligibility Vesting Coverage Nondiscrimination Benefits Distributions 7
8 Who is the Employer?
9 Who is the Employer? For purposes of tax rules intended to prevent employers from discriminating in favor of owners and highly compensated employees, a plan sponsor needs to know the answer to two questions: Which businesses are aggregated together and treated as a single employer? Whoaretheemployeesoftheemployer? The answers apply to plan coverage, eligibility, vesting and when to pay benefits from the plan 9
10 Controlled Groups The most common way that related businesses are treated as a single employer is through the controlled group rules The controlled group rules apply to corporations and other trades or business, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, trusts, and estates There are two kinds of controlled groups Parent-subsidiary controlled group Brother-sister controlled group 10
11 Parent-Subsidiary Controlled Group A group of companies with 80% common ownership Company A 80% Ownership 100% Ownership Company B Company C 100% Ownership Company D 11
12 Brother-Sister Controlled Group 5 or fewer individuals have 80% common ownership and The same 5 or fewer individuals have 50% identical ownership Identical ownership is the lowest percentage ownership in the entities being aggregated Example: If an individual owns 15% of Company A and 25% of Company B, his identical ownership is 15% 12
13 Brother-Sister Controlled Group Example of brother-sister controlled group Individual A Individual B 30% 65% 70% 35% Company X Company Y 13
14 Attribution of Ownership In addition to direct ownership interests, in some cases an ownership interest will be attributed to or from certain related entities Between stockholders and corporations Between a partner and a partnership Between spouses, parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren Between beneficiaries and trusts and estates To the holder of an option 14
15 Affiliated Service Groups In addition to the controlled group rules, companies can be treated as a single employer through the affiliated service group rules Details of affiliated service group rules are complex and sometimes have unanticipated consequences Generally applies to professionals and organizations that work with professionals, such as doctors, hospitals, lawyers, architects, accountants, and consultants 15
16 Affiliated Service Groups Affiliated service group example: A doctor practice moves staff to a company outside of its controlled group Example: 10 doctors each own 10% of practice and 10% of separate staffing company; will not satisfy 80% common ownership test because 5 owners only have 50% common ownership Doctors and staff are still regularly associated in providing services to third parties Treated as a single employer under the affiliated service group rules even though not part of a controlled group 16
17 Who are the Employees? Employees include all common law employees of all of the related entities that are treated as a single employer Generally, if a company can direct and control what will be done and how it will be done by someone, that person is their common law employee Common law employee status is based on facts and circumstances 17
18 Who are the Employees? Independent contractors may be employees based on the facts regardless of their classification by a company For example, an employee who is terminated and rehired as an independent contractor may still be a common law employee if there is no other change in the relationship 18
19 Who are the Employees? Leased employees are treated as employees if they: Provide services under an agreement between the employer and a leasing organization ; Perform services on a substantially full-time basis for a period of at least 1 year; and Perform services under the primary direction or control of the employer 19
20 Eligibility
21 What Conditions Must Employees Satisfy To Become Participants? Age Service Other Conditions Plan Entry Dates Breaks In Service 21
22 Age Requirements Cannot be older than 21 May be less than 21 (or no age requirement) Cannot kick participants out once they reach a certain age 22
23 Service Requirements Generally, cannot require more than 1 year of eligibility service Always free to require less than 1 year of service Immediate entry (no service requirement) 250 hours in a calendar quarter 30 days of continuous service 23
24 Methods of Counting Service Hours of Service Hours employee actually works or is entitled to payment Elapsed Time Length of time employee is employed 24
25 Hours of Service Hours employee is paid, or entitled to payment for services rendered; Hours employee is paid, or entitled to payment, due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty or leave of absence; Back pay hours; and USERRA hours 25
26 Hours of Service May use equivalencies rather than counting actual hours Daily 10 hours Weekly 45 hours Semi-Monthly 95 hours Monthly 190 hours 26
27 Hours of Service Year of eligibility service: 1,000 hours (or less) during a 12-month computation period Initial computation period is always first 12 months of employment After the initial computation period, may shift to plan year May require less than 1,000 hours, but not more 27
28 Hours of Service Credit employees with a year of service at the end of computation period Example: Employee is hired March 1, If he completes 1,000 hours during his first 12 months of employment (March 1, February 28, 2014), he is credited with a year of service on February 28,
29 Elapsed Time Amount of time between hire date and severance date If an employee leaves employment and returns within 12 months, period of severance is counted Actual hours worked do not matter Year of Eligibility Service: 12-consecutive month period of employment 29
30 Counting Service Count all service, even when employee has not satisfied other eligibility conditions Credit service with all related employers 30
31 Other Conditions May exclude classifications of employees, if reasonable and nondiscriminatory Leased Employees & Independent Contractors Union Employees Non-Resident Aliens Employees of other members of controlled group Hourly or salaried employees Cannot explicitly exclude part-time and seasonal employees (but can require 1 year of service) Plan must pass 410(b) coverage testing 31
32 Plan Entry Dates After satisfying eligibility requirements, employees must reach plan Entry Date before they can begin participating Must have at least semi-annual Entry Dates (January 1 and July 1 for calendar year plans) 32
33 Plan Entry Dates Always free to use more frequent Entry Dates: Daily Payroll period Monthly Quarterly 33
34 Breaks in Service Hours of Service Computation period in which employee has less than 500 hours of service Elapsed Time 12-month period in which employee does not complete an hour of service 34
35 Breaks in Service Optional rules temporarily or permanently disregard pre-break service One Year Holdout Rule: Post-break, must complete 1 year of service before pre-break service is restored Service (and plan participation) restored retroactively Rule of Parity: If 0% vested plus 5 consecutive breaks in service, pre-break service is permanently disregarded Will not apply if participant has made 401(k) contributions 35
36 Rehires Upon rehire (provided optional break in service rules do not apply): Former participant will re-enter plan on date of rehire Employee who completed eligibility requirements, but did not reach Entry Date prior to termination, will enter plan on later of: Original plan Entry Date; or Date of rehire Employee who did not complete eligibility requirements prior to termination will still have to complete those requirements 36
37 Vesting
38 What is Vesting? All qualified plans must comply with minimum vesting standards under the Code and ERISA A participant becomes vested when he or she has acquired a nonforfeitable right to all or a portion of his or her accrued benefit Accrued benefits: DB plan: amount earned payable at normal retirement age DC plan: account balance 38
39 Benefits Subject to Vesting Benefits that are fully vested at all times: All employee contributions Some employer contributions Benefits subject to vesting: DB plan accrued benefits DC plan employer matching and profit sharing contributions (non-safe-harbor) 39
40 Vesting Schedules DC Plans 3 Year Cliff 2 to 6 Year Graded Years of Nonforfeitable % Service 0 0% 1 0% 2 0% 3 100% Years of Nonforfeitable % Service 0 0% 1 0% 2 20% 3 40% 4 60% 5 80% 6 100% 40
41 Vesting Schedules DB Plans 5 Year Cliff 3 to 7 Year Graded Years of Nonforfeitable % Service 0 0% 1 0% 2 0% 3 0% 4 0% 5 100% Years of Nonforfeitable % Service 0 0% 1 0% 2 0% 3 20% 4 40% 5 60% 6 80% 7 100% 41
42 Calculation of Vested Amount Amount of a participant s vested benefit at a given time = accrued benefit x nonforfeitable percentage Example DC plan with account balance subject to a 6 year graded vesting schedule Years Account Balance Nonforfeitable % Vested Benefit 0 $5, % $ $5, % $ $5, % $1, $5, % $2, $5, % $3, $5, % $4, $5, % $5,
43 Required Vesting Triggers Must be 100% vested upon attainment of normal retirement age, which is generally the earlier of: The age provided in the plan document; or Attainment of age 65 and 5 years of participation Termination or Partial Termination 43
44 Partial Termination Generally there is a partial termination when a large group of participants are terminated involuntarily in connection with a corporate event (e.g., layoffs,plant closings) Facts and circumstances test Presumption if 20% or greater turnover rate Can also occur if the plan is amended to cease future accruals and it results in the increased likelihood of a reversion to the plan sponsor 44
45 Partial Termination Turnover Rate: Participants who had an employer-initiated severance during period Participants at beginning of period + Participants added during period > 20% All affected participants must be fully vested in their benefits as of the date of a full or partial plan termination 45
46 Changes to Vesting Schedules ERISA anti-cutback rule prohibits elimination or reduction of accrued benefits Existing benefits everything is protected: New vesting schedules cannot reduce the nonforfeitable percentage of a participant s vested benefit Future accruals generally not protected: However, participants with 3 or more years of service may elect to remain under the old schedule 46
47 Permitted Forfeitures Forfeitures occur when terminated employees are not fully vested in employer contributions Five-year break-in-service Future service is taken into account only to determine vesting in benefits accrued after the break Cash-outs Repayment rights Should be allocated in the same plan year as forfeiture or the following year May be used to pay plan expenses or fund employer contributions 47
