#SECUREAct update for plan sponsors:
The SECURE Act requires that 401(k) plans (other than collectively bargained plans) allow long-term part-time employees to enter a plan and make salary deferral contributions. This right must be made available to any employee who works 500 or more hours for three consecutive 12-month periods, and it includes employees categorized as part-time as well as seasonal and temporary employees. Hours must be counted beginning with the 2021 plan year, because long-term part-time employees could become eligible for plan years beginning in 2024. We’re reminding plan sponsors of this change, and possible actions to take, in December.
