Premier Qualified Retirement Plan Third-Party Administration Services for Companies of All Sizes. Running a qualified retirement plan is a complex task. As a designated "Third-Party" Administrator (TPA) we handle the bulk of the administrative burden, designing and keeping your plan on track. Our Services: Plan Design - The first step is for us to learn what the employer is looking to accomplish by sponsoring a retirement plan. Is it to use as a recruiting tool? To help fund their employee's retirement? For tax advantages? All of the above? With that information in hand, we create a plan design specifically tailored to meet those objectives and yet be flexible enough to adapt as things change. Plan Document - Next, we take the agreed upon design recommendations and codify them into a plan document which is the instrument that governs how the plan must operate. The document specifies things such as employee eligibility requirements, what contribution types are allowed, distribution options, availability of participant loans,"vesting" requirements etc. The document isn't something that is created and placed on the shelf but rather the blueprint we constantly reference to operate the plan. Annual Compliance & Testing - ERISA, the federal law that governs how employers offer benefit plans to their employees, requires that certain annual tests be performed to verify that the plan doesn't discriminate in favor of "highly compensated" employees and that it doesn't exceed the IRS contribution limits. Typically, this compliance testing is outsourced to a firm like ours who specializes in this type of work. In addition, we also confirm that employee deferrals are being made on a timely basis, prepare annual notices for distribution to eligible participants and prepare the plan's tax return (form 5500) and other IRS and DoL reports for client signature. In short, we do the heavy lifting so the plan sponsor doesn't have to.
