Safe Harbor Match Question

[Pammie57]

I have a plan (client) with a safe harbor match.  Their HCE made 166400 before bonus.  They only deferred on the base salary even though plan allows deferrals on  "irregular compensation."  The divided the $18500 between each pay period, and applied the SH Match formula each pay period.  Therefore they only matched them $6656

They had bonuses that made their compensation exceed  $275,000.  They did NOT defer on the bonuses.... I am trying to figure out if they can have the max SH match for 2018 or if they are stuck with the $6656

OH and match is calculated per pay period per the document.

If it's calculated on a payroll basis, there is no true-up.

Were the HCE's deferrals done correctly based on the HCE's deferral election?
