4 Getting Started Phase II Communicate Once the Documentation Phase is complete, it s time to communicate the new plan benefit to your employees. During the Communicate Phase, required notices to employees and participants must be distributed and enrollment meetings will be scheduled and held with your employees. ADP will also provide initial training on ADP s recordkeeping processes and operating guidelines, as well as some of the basics of plan administration and compliance testing. Step 1 Notify Participants The Department of Labor (DOL) and, in some cases, the Internal Revenue Service, require plan sponsors to provide certain notices and disclosures to eligible employees about the new plan. Some of the required documents that must be provided include: Participant Fee Disclosure Summary Plan Description Safe Harbor Notice (if applicable) Your Implementation Manager will provide these documents for you to distribute to your employees. If additional notices are required, your Implementation Manager will inform you and provide materials for your use. Step 2 Enroll Employees An ADP Retirement Counselor 1 (if applicable) will contact you to discuss your employee education needs, schedule and conduct enrollment meetings. It is the Retirement Counselor s job to help your employees understand the plan and its features and empower them to use it to its full potential. We will contact you to schedule an enrollment meeting to help your participants understand the features of your plan It s important that your participants attend the enrollment meeting Participants will be able to enroll in person or using our online enrollment application 2 Communicate Resources For help with completing the steps in this phase, click here. 1 Registered representatives of ADP Broker-Dealer, Inc., an affiliate of ADP, LLC, One ADP Blvd, Roseland, NJ.

7 Frequently Asked Questions about Starting a New Plan 1. What is a Plan Fiduciary? Anyone who exercises discretionary authority or discretionary control over management or administration of the plan, exercises any authority or control over management or disposition of plan assets, or gives investment advice for a fee or other compensation with respect to assets of the plan. 2. When will my employees be eligible for enrollment? Eligibility is determined by the plan eligibility requirement defined in the plan document. Some plans have a service requirement and others offer employees immediate eligibility. See your plan document for details. 3. Do employees have to attend an enrollment meeting? As a plan fiduciary, it is your responsibility to inform your employees about the existence of your plan and the benefits of participating in it. Broader plan participation can also help your plan pass the various compliance tests discussed earlier in this guide, of the benefits of saving and investing in your employer sponsored retirement plan. Therefore, it is in your best interests to encourage or require employees to attend an enrollment meeting. ADP Retirement Services offers a comprehensive library of enrollment and ongoing education communications to assist you with this portion of your fiduciary responsibility. You may be able to access the services of a Retirement Counselor, who can discuss with you your employee education needs, schedule and conduct enrollment meetings. A Retirement Counselor can help your employees understand the plan and its features and empower employees to use the plan to its full potential. 4. Can employees enroll online? At initial enrollment meetings, employees can join the plan using our enrollment site through the web or a mobile device. Your Retirement Counselor will review the online enrollment process with you, provide communications needed for enrollment and conduct the meetings. Employees who become eligible after initial enrollment will receive login information for enrolling on the website. 5. What is the deadline to ensure your eligible employees get enrolled in the plan prior to the start date? Enrollments should be submitted at least one week prior to the first payroll of the month in which your plan starts. Enrollments received after this time will generally be processed in the first payroll cycle after receipt. 6. Who do my employees call with questions once the plan has started? The mykplan.com website contains an abundance of helpful information. Participants who prefer to speak with an ADP Representative can call the Participant Call Center. FOR PLAN SPONSOR USE ONLY.

8 Frequently Asked Questions about Conversion 7. Can my employees take loans? If your plan offers a loan feature, employees may take a loan from the retirement plan. Your plan document includes information and requirements for plan loans. Incorrect data, such as dates of hire, birthdates, termination dates, and compliance coding can affect eligibility determination, reporting, compliance testing, and your participants ability to access the website. 8. What is compliance coding and when do I need to submit it? Compliance coding identifies different employee groups, such as Key Employees and Non-Key Employees, Highly Compensated Employees and Non-Highly Compensated Employees, and Excluded Employees to ensure proper compliance testing for your plan. Coding to indicate your Plan s Excluded and Eligible Employees should be completed before you are ready to run your first payroll file. You should submit compliance coding during your plan s start month and make any necessary updates throughout the year. Some of the more important compliance coding is explained in the Activate Resources pages. Additional information about compliance coding will be provided in your Plan Administrator training and is explained in detail in your Plan Administration Manual. Compliance coding will be discussed in detail when you attend Plan Administrator training. 9. How long should implementation take? Under ideal circumstances, the entire process should be completed in 30 days. 10. Why do I need to attend Plan Administrator training? At ADP Retirement Services, we pride ourselves on making plan administration easy. During the training session, you will learn how to use our PRC website and all the tools we offer to help make it simple to administer your plan. This is the first of 5 instructor-led training programs that are offered to Plan Administrators. 11. How do my employees become vested? Employee contributions and any amounts rolled into the plan, adjusted for gains and losses, are always 100% vested. If your company makes a contribution (such as match), the vesting schedule you selected will apply as defined in the plan document. Vesting is based on years of service. Your plan defines how a year of service is counted for vesting purposes. 12. When does my company have to make our contributions? If your company is making contributions, matching or otherwise, they must be made by your company s tax-filing deadline (including extensions) to be deductible for the year to which they apply. 401(k) Safe Harbor matching contributions made on a per-payroll basis must be contributed by the last day of the next plan year quarter.

9 Frequently Asked Questions about Conversion 13. What is a form 5500 and does my plan need one? A Form 5500 is an annual filing required by the DOL and IRS that reports the status and activity of your retirement plan for the preceding plan year. The form is submitted to the DOL, typically at the same time as your company taxes. The form helps the DOL and IRS ensure that your plan is in compliance with applicable requirements. 14. What are Elective Deferrals? Elective Deferrals include Pre-Tax Elective Deferrals and, if provided for under your plan, Roth Elective Deferrals. Pre-Tax Deferrals are not includable in a participant s gross income at the time deferred and are irrevocably designated as Pre-Tax Elective Deferrals by the participant in his/her deferral election. Roth Elective Deferrals are includable in a participant s gross income at the time deferred and are irrevocably designated as Roth Elective Deferrals by the participant in his/her deferral election. If certain requirements are satisfied, distributions of Roth Elective Deferrals, including earnings, are tax-free. 15. Can I rollover my prior 401(k)? If you or your employees have a balance in a prior employer s 401(k) plan, you and your employees may be able to rollover that balance into your company s current 401(k) plan with ADP. We have a support team to help you and your employees with this process. Please contact our Rollover team for assistance at FOR PLAN SPONSOR USE ONLY. NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
