Question 188: A temp agency has about 200 internal staff employees and several thousand temps nationwide, most of whom work more 1,000 hours per year. These temps are true temps and are most likely common law employees of the staffing firm. The agency wants to set up a 401(k) plan for the internal staff, but they do not want to cover the temps. Rev. Proc. 2002-21 seems to imply that the temps are not employees of the agency. If so, can the agency's plan cover only the internal staff (which has all of the HCEs), exclude the temps, and still pass the minimum coverage test of Code section 410(b)? |
Answer: You're reading too much into the Rev. Proc. |
