Common use of SUSPENSION OF ACCRUAL REQUIREMENTS UNDER NONSTANDARDIZED PLAN Clause in Contracts

SUSPENSION OF ACCRUAL REQUIREMENTS UNDER NONSTANDARDIZED PLAN. If the Employer's Plan is a Nonstandardized Plan, the Employer may elect in its Adoption Agreement to suspend the accrual requirements elected under Adoption Agreement Section 3.06 if, for any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1989, the Plan fails to satisfy the Participation Test or the Coverage Test. A Plan satisfies the Participation Test if, on each day of the Plan Year, the number of Employees who benefit under the Plan is at least equal to the lesser of 50 or 40% of the total number of Includible Employees as of such day. A Plan satisfies the Coverage Test if, on the last day of each quarter of the Plan Year, the number of Nonhighly Compensated Employees who benefit under the Plan is at least equal to 70% of the total number of Includible Nonhighly Compensated Employees as of such day. "Includible" Employees are all Employees other than: (1) those Employees excluded from participating in the Plan for the entire Plan Year by reason of the collective bargaining unit exclusion or the nonresident alien exclusion under Adoption Agreement Section 1.07 or by reason of the participation requirements of Sections 2.01 and 2.03; and (2) any Employee who incurs a Separation from Service during the Plan Year and fails to complete at least 501 Hours of Service for the Plan Year. A "Nonhighly Compensated Employee" is an Employee who is not a Highly Compensated Employee and who is not a family member aggregated with a Highly Compensated Employee pursuant to Section 1.09 of the Plan. For purposes of the Participation Test and the Coverage Test, an Employee is benefiting under the Plan on a particular date if, under Adoption Agreement Section 3.04, he is entitled to an allocation for the Plan Year. Under the Participation Test, when determining whether an Employee is entitled to an allocation under Adoption Agreement Section 3.04, the Advisory Committee will disregard any allocation required 18 solely by reason of the top heavy minimum allocation, unless the top heavy minimum allocation is the only allocation made under the Plan for the Plan Year. If this Section 3.06(E) applies for a Plan Year, the Advisory Committee will suspend the accrual requirements for the Includible Employees who are Participants, beginning first with the Includible Employee(s) employed with the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year, then the Includible Employee(s) who have the latest Separation from Service during the Plan Year, and continuing to suspend in descending order the accrual requirements for each Includible Employee who incurred an earlier Separation from Service, from the latest to the earliest Separation from Service date, until the Plan satisfies both the Participation Test and the Coverage Test for the Plan Year. If two or more Includible Employees have a Separation from Service on the same day, the Advisory Committee will suspend the accrual requirements for all such Includible Employees, irrespective of whether the Plan can satisfy the Participation Test and the Coverage Test by accruing benefits for fewer than all such Includible Employees. If the Plan suspends the accrual requirements for an Includible Employee, that Employee will share in the allocation of Employer contributions and Participant forfeitures, if any, without regard to the number of Hours of Service he has earned for the Plan Year and without regard to whether he is employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year. If the Employer's Plan includes Employer matching contributions subject to Code Section 401(m), this suspension of accrual requirements applies separately to the Code Section 401(m) portion of the Plan, and the Advisory Committee will treat an Employee as benefiting under that portion of the Plan if he is an Eligible Employee for purposes of the Code Section 401(m) nondiscrimination test. The Employer may modify the operation of this Section 3.06(E) by electing appropriate modifications in Section 3.06 of its Adoption Agreement.
