I have a question regarding a safe harbor 401(k) established in August 2016. We set the effective date as of 1/1/16 to allow all enrolled employees at 8/1/16 the ability to receive a full year contribution into the plan. Prior to us establishing the plan, we had two employees terminate their employment (one in February and one in April of 2016). Now our Administrator is saying that because our effective date is 1/1/16, we have to provide a safe harbor contribution to the two terminated employees even though they were not employed when we established the 401(k) plan. Does this sound right? It does not make sense to me. Any help would be appreciated.

Terminated Employee Benefits Files
Guest posted a topic in Health Plans (Including ACA, COBRA, HIPAA)
Does anyone know if the benefits records of an employee (health and welfare plans, retirement, etc.) can be merged into an employee's official personnel/employment file once the employee terminates? Or, should the benefits always be maintained separately for audit purposes?
