The most popular plan available today. In this plan, an employee chooses an amount to contribute each pay period from his paycheck. This amount is taken out of the paycheck on a pretax basis, so the employee immediately defers taxation. The earnings on the deposits also accumulate tax deferred. An employer may also match the employees' deferral, usually as a percentage of the amount contributed.
Do I have to report all my employees to you? Yes. Form 5500 and the Schedule R require you to answer questions about all your employees, not just the ones that met the eligibility requirements of your plan. Why do I have to report the hours each employee worked to you?
IRS Discrimination testing divides employees up into three groups, those that work 1,000 or more hours in a year, those that work 500 - 999 hours in a year and those that work less than 500 hours in a year.We need their actual hours to put them in the proper group and to determine whether or not they accrue a benefit and/or vesting service.

I have tried reaching out to this company several times in regards to a previous account that I had set up through a previous employer and have gotten no call back or response from them hopefully with the email I sent out today I have better luck. I try to be understanding as I've dealt with bad/rude customers in my past as well and I hate to complain however I don't see another option since I've called, left numerous vcm's and have gotten no response.

Kelly was so kind as to not read her emails and not respond to when emailed about important matters concerning our 401k plan. Every time I did not hear back I had to call her to see what was going on and 100% of the time she did not read my email or even get working on what she needed to do. I do not think this company puts its clients first and it seemed that because our company was closing that they no longer needed to help us and we were no longer a priority. I would not recommend this service.
