Military Leave and a Plan that requires Mandatory Contributions

[Guest MikeD]

Help...

MPPP requires a 3% employee contribution in order to share in employer contributions. A Participant has just returned from military leave. What does the Plan do now? Does it require the employee to make up the mandatory contributions in order to receive the employer contributions (like you would do with a 401(k) plan that has matching provisions) or does the Plan make the employer contributions without requiring the employee contributions?

Thanks for the input!
