HOW IT WORKS
RESTATEMENTS
A plan using a custom document must generally be restated every 5 years based on the company's federal ID. We'll make sure your plan stays compliant by taking care of the work and updating you with the results.
RETROACTIVE AMENDMENTS
Despite everyone's best efforts, mistakes can happen. If they do, LRS can help you correct the problem and retain the benefits of your qualified plan, before the IRS or other agencies get involved.
The SECURE Act Allows For Easier ROBS Maintenance
The SECURE Act greatly enhances the ability for small and medium-sized employers to maintain retirement programs for their employees with the creation of a new retirement vehicle called a Pooled Employer Plan. Reduce expenses, simplify decision-making, and decrease the amount of time and effort you devote to maintaining your ROBS plan by adopting a pooled employer plan through Leading Plan Solutions™!
ENHANCED PAYROLL CONTRIBUTION SERVICES
Is your process taking too much time? Are your payroll contribution files difficult to work with? Do you need help processing payroll contributions for your retirement plan? We provide enhanced and customized payroll services to reduce the time and effort you put into processing payroll contributions each pay period. Saving companies an average of 30 hours per year!
Premium Contribution Support
Payroll contribution processing working directly with your payroll provider or vendor! We handle everything needed from retrieving payroll contribution reports, to payroll/contribution data entry, to pulling contributions from your designated account. We even run compliance reviews of your consolidated payroll report vs your retirement plan employee census.
Large Payroll Relief
Payroll contribution processing from additional accounts, companies, units, or departments! Our base services process up to 26 payrolls from a single bank account. If you process payroll more frequently (e.g. weekly) or you process payroll for more than 1 entity, unit, or, division you will need to secure our Large Payroll Relief services.
Enhanced Calculations
If your payroll solution is not able to calculate company matching contributions each pay period, we can handle it! We’ll log into your payroll solution, download and retrieve payroll contribution reports, enter payroll and contribution information into contribution processing systems, pull contributions from your designated account, and do compliance reviews of your consolidated payroll report.
Just the Basics
If your payroll solution only provides payroll and contribution information in a locked PDF or similar format that makes it difficult to submit contribution information, we can set up customized payroll contribution files required for necessary data upload into our systems.
Government Reporting
Even with the best intentions, fiduciary and operational violations can occur with a company sponsored retirement plan. Let LRS take the stress out of compliance to changing regulations by doing it for you.
LRS’s compliance programs are designed to ensure that plan fiduciaries comply with their obligations, protect plan assets, and minimize personal and financial liability wherever possible.
