Roth Contributions
A Roth option allows you and your employees to pay taxes on your retirement savings now, instead of when you take distributions in retirement. Providing a Roth option may reduce the overall taxes paid over the life of the investment and is an important part of a tax diversification strategy.
Employer Contributions
- Match: Incentivizes employees to contribute.
- Safe Harbor: A type of contribution that helps an employer pass compliance testing.
- Profit Sharing: A type of contribution via an add-on plan.
Plan Parameters
There are four main parameters that plan sponsors can designate for their plan.
- Vesting: Decide how quickly your employees fully own employer contributions.
- Automatic Enrollment/Escalation: Determine whether employees will be automatically enrolled in the plan and registered for annual contribution increases.
- Loans: Enable participants to borrow against their vested balance.
