How quickly should safe harbor match dollars be deposited?

[Santo Gold]

Does the DOL employee contribution deposit deadlines (earlier of ASAP/15th bus day) ever apply to ER contributions? For example, if the plan document calls for a safe harbor match contribution to be calculated on a payroll basis, but the ER does not deposit the s/h money each payroll, is there a violation?

Thanks

According to the regs on Safe Harbor Match, if computed on a per payroll basis, then they must be deposited in the quarter following the quarter of the pay.
