Retirement Plans And The Challenges For Its Implementation

By Angela Schmidt


As you know the 401k is pretty much the most popular retirement plan being opted by most employees. However, the problem is that not all companies are capable of offering such retirement plan to their workers and so they give on another choice or option to secure future of employees. One of which would be IRS regulation or they could perhaps make implementation on Prevailing Wage Retirement Plan.

This is quite different on most plans for retirement. Its nothing similar about IRS nor 401k. Although, one of the most common plans being used by majority of employees are those of 401k. Normally, it will be depending on how the company would choose things to be but then considerations usually matters a lot.

With that, they are looking for something which they could somehow take advantage of as well. And this is where prevailing wage plans for retirement takes place. This is both advantageous for the hourly workers and those company owners as its design on regulation is meant to do so.

Anyway, government has thought of making this regulation implemented to ensure that contractual workers still gets full benefit from all the service they have been giving in the firm which they are working in. With that, this happens to be accepted as a federal contract and common on several localities.

To give you an example and idea of how this works, contractors who normally works on project does not have to report eight hours straight. They usually are being paid in an hourly basis. With that there should be a prevailing wage encompassing the whole project supposedly. Now, there are two parts on this.

First is the wage and the other would be the fringe. Now, when paying for it there is a choice of obligation a firm may be able to opt from. First, they could pay the fringe in cash. Or they could pay it as if its kind of a contribution on the benefit plan of their employees. Or they can practice both if they want.

Most firms does choose to abide on this requirement through the contribution on the amount of benefit plans. They would do this mainly through profit sharing and they have to make this in behalf of their employees instead of giving them the whole payment in cash for their fringe compensation.

Though, to clarify things up, it is not something which is subjectable to tax or deduction. Its basically a money from the firm and this is going to be fully reflected on the accounts of workers as their retirement benefit. Such contribution may then be used to offset several top heavy required and mandatory contributions.

Its important to remember that the goal behind this plan is to basically ensure that employers are satisfied with the benefit requirement. Now, this design has special considerations and needs as well and that can be given through plan designs and features as well as the eligibility for the requirement. As a firm who would like to practice such kind of benefit plans, you will have to be familiarized with what this regulation is all about. Indeed, there are more to it and so as you plan things out, you will surely need to brainstorm about it to basically do all appropriate things needed.
