Failure to use a definition of Plan Compensation that satisfies the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §414(s) will cause the Plan to fail to qualify for any contribution safe harbors, such as the permitted disparity allocation or Safe Harbor 401 (k) Plan safe harbors. Any adjustments to Plan Compensation under this AA §5-3 must be definitely determinable and preclude Employer discretion. See AA §6C-4 for the definition of Plan Compensation as it applies to Safe Harbor Contributions.] |
