Important points to consider when reviewing your plan:
- Stretching employer matching contributions – For employers who match employee contributions, this can be a beneficial method to increase deferral rates without increasing company expenses.
- Auto enrollment / auto deferral increase – This helps boost participation and deferral rates. A good communication strategy is key for the acceptance of automatic features.
- Adding Roth contributions – A no cost addition to a retirement plan that provides employees another option as they plan for retirement distributions.
- Who pays for administration fees? – More and more employers are utilizing the ability to pass fees on to plan participants in order to reduce expenses. The purchasing power of a retirement plan allows the passing of these fees to be minimal and can reduce the costs to the employer.
