Employer matching refers to the employer contributing a percentage of the employee’s 401(k) contributions, usually up to a certain limit. Profit sharing allows employers to contribute a portion of company profits to employee retirement accounts, even if the employee doesn’t contribute themselves.
Profit sharing offers flexibility in contribution amounts year-over-year, allowing employers to adjust based on company performance. It can also be a valuable incentive and retention tool.
Employers must follow IRS non-discrimination testing rules to ensure benefits are fairly distributed across employee types. This includes Actual Deferral Percentage (ADP) and Actual Contribution Percentage (ACP) tests.
