Safe Harbor 401(k)
A safe harbor 401(k) plan is similar to a traditional 401(k), but, among other things, must provide for immediate vesting in required employer contributions. However, the safe harbor 401(k) plan may not be subject to some of the annual testing associated with a traditional 401(k) plan.
To set up a safe harbor 401(k) plan for your business, you may purchase a pre-approved plan or consult a benefit plan advisor.
