Highly Compensated Employee The term Highly Compensated Employee includes highly compensated active employees and highly compensated former employees.
Break in Service This option may impose a complicated re-entry date for employees who have terminated or whose hours were severely cut back. Option (a) is chosen for administrative convenience.
Distribution of Excess Contributions If the Advisory Committee determines the Plan fails to satisfy the ADP test for a Plan Year, it must distribute the excess contributions, as adjusted for allocable income, during the next Plan Year. However, the Employer will incur an excise tax equal to 10% of the amount of excess contributions for a Plan Year not distributed to the appropriate Highly Compensated Employees during the first 2 1/2 months of that next Plan Year. The excess contributions are the amount of deferral contributions made by the Highly Compensated Employees which causes the Plan to fail to satisfy the ADP test. The Advisory Committee will distribute to each Highly Compensated Employee his respective share of the excess contributions. The Advisory Committee will determine the respective shares of excess contributions by starting with the Highly Compensated Employee(s) who has the greatest ADP, reducing his ADP (but not below the next highest ADP), then, if necessary, reducing the ADP of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) at the next highest ADP level (including the ADP of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) whose ADP the Advisory Committee already has reduced), and continuing in this manner until the average ADP for the Highly Compensated Group satisfies the ADP test. If the Highly Compensated Employee is part of an aggregated family group, the Advisory Committee, in accordance with the applicable Treasury regulations, will determine each aggregated family member's allocable share of the excess contributions assigned to the family unit.
