Reporting Requirements

  1. 401(k) deferrals must be reported separately from other contributions and per Department of Labor regulations (Section 2510.3-102) must be forwarded as of the earliest date on which the monies can reasonably be segregated frm the employer's general assets. <click here for more information>
     

  2. This can be no later than the 15th day of the month following the month in which the contributions were withheld from pay. However, if the 401(k) deferrals can be reasonably segregated sooner, then these funds must be remitted earlier.

  4. The Unions may remove employees from a delinquent Employer, with a twenty-four (24) hour notice.
     

  5. Owners who are Sole Proprietors are prohibited by law from contributing to the Defined Contribution (401(k)) Fund.
