Development company with around 50 employees in California. All of the employees would be considered NHCEs as none of them have any company equity and do not make more than $120k (Besides the CEO). All other employees would be NHCE because of this. Would like to set up a new comparability profit sharing program where the employees who did well on their projects (All NHCE) can be set to one "group" on the new comparability profit sharing plan and have the highest % rate. The HCE (CEO) would be set to the lowest % rate (1%) and thus, the remaining other employees would meet the gateway test if they were set as 0.35% (1/3 of HCE). Would this setup satisfy the cross-testing requirements along with any other requirements? Basically looking for a method to utilize profit-sharing but provide as much % possible to the employees excelling at their projects and providing as close to 0 as possible for other remaining employees (Which would include the CEO). Any advice would be appreciated!

A NHCE participant was proactive for 2017 and realized his deferrals into two unrelated plans were over the 402g limit and requested a distribution of the excess. The distribution was done from the currently employed plan that we administrate. From the 401k Plan Fix It Guide: Excess deferrals distributed to highly compensated employees are included in the Actual Deferral Percentage (ADP) test in the year the amounts were deferred. Excess deferrals distributed to nonhighly compensated employees aren't included in the ADP test if all deferrals were made with one employer. (Emphasis mine) Just so I am doing this correctly, the overage stays in the ADP total for the year because of the unrelated plans? I guess that makes sense... the employee could manipulate the two unrelated plans if they were devious.
