Transitioning to a virtual environment may also mean leaving behind established schedules, files and resources. During this time of rapid change, one responsibility that remains unchanged is having a compliance retirement plan. A few reminders for all plan sponsors:
- At this time, regulatory deadlines have not changed (i.e. Form 5500, plan documents, etc.).
- If you need to temporarily suspend employer contributions, you need to amend your plan and notify employees prior to suspending the contributions.
- If an employee wants to stop making elective deferrals, they should complete a new salary reduction agreement.
- Some employees may request access to retirement funds through the hardship or loan provisions in the plan. To do so they should contact the investment vendor to start the process. Depending on the design of your plan and applicable regulations, the vendor can provide information on availability and options.
If we can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here and ready to help.
