Oops! Someone forgot to tell payroll about auto enrollment!

[Guest Rider]

Plan Sponsor rolls out a 401(k) with 2% auto enrollment and a match, but the only salary deferrals actually contributed are for the employees that completed forms to have a greater amount withheld.

The participants who made no election have had no salary deferrals and thus no match.

I have not found any self correction procedures for auto enroll. What's the best course of action to correct?

I ran into this and treated it as an exclusion of eligible employees, for which there is correction methods.
