Hi to All,
We have a 401(k) plan for a non-profit entity with a new comparability formula for the profit sharing. The intention in the design was to have each participant in his own group and to vary the contribution level at will. There are no HCEs and of course no "owners".
Can the employer give 10% of pay to the 3 oldest employees and nothing to the 3 youngest employees? Can the contribution be literally whatever they feel like giving to each person?
We are so accustomed to the world of small closely held companies that it's hard to think outside the parameters of normal non-discrimination testing. Our first instincts are to say "Oh no, you can't do that!" but perhaps you can! Any thoughts?
Thank you as always.
