more info
Your company can contribute to plan participants' accounts in any of three ways:
(1) regular matching contributions,
(2) discretionary employer contributions, and/or
(3) qualified nonelective contributions.
Regular matching contributions (RMCs) are defined in terms of participant's elective contribution (e.g., 50¢ contributed by the employer for each dollar contributed by the plan
participant). Discretionary employer contributions (DECs) are basically profit-sharing contributions, although the employer's
contribution does not have to be limited to net
profits. Qualified nonelective contributions (QNECs) are allocated on the basis of compensation or some other variable aside from a participant's elective contribution; they are made to ALL eligible employees regardless of whether or not the employee contributes to or participates in the 401(k) plan -- unless the QNEC is being used to satisfy ADP or ACP test corrections. As for vesting, RMCs and DECs can be subject to vesting schedules, but QNECs are always 100% vested to employees' accounts when made.
1) Will your company be making any REGULAR MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS to employees' accounts?
AND our company (check one) will will not contribute an additional discretionary percentage, to be determined by our company.
Other:
Unsure. Please contact me regarding regular matching contributions.
2) Would your company like to have the option of being able to make DISCRETIONARY EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS (i.e., profit-sharing contributions) to employees' accounts?
3) Would your company like to have the option of being able to make QUALIFIED NONELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS to employees' accounts?
28. Vesting of employer contributions
"Vesting" refers to ownership. For instance, if you pick Schedule D below and a plan participant leaves your company after 2 years, he or she will only be entitled to 20% of any relevant employer contributions made by your company to his or her account. The remainder will go into a pool that your company can choose to use for employer contributions owed to other participants.
What vesting formula do you want to use for any employer contributions? Mark your choice for any profit-sharing contributions in column P-S Contribs and for any matching contributions in column Match Contribs.
Unsure. Please contact me regarding the vesting schedule(s) to use for our 401k plan.
29. Loans
Do you want your 401k Solution plan to allow for 401k loans (that is, for participants to borrow from their accounts)?

32. Safe Harbor Designations
The IRS allows 401k plan sponsors an alternative to subjecting their 401k plans to annual discrimination testing. The safe harbor method of plan operation lets employers instead make certain contributions to the plan, with immediate vesting of the contributions to employees' 401k accounts.
