Nondiscrimination Testing for Your Business

The nondiscrimination testing we use to determine if your benefit plans are meeting requirements begins with us creating and identifying the results of an employer-controlled group analysis. This analysis covers parent-subsidiary, brother-sister, affiliated service organizations, lease employees, and common law employees.

The next step in our nondiscrimination testing is to identify the prohibited group of employees. These employees include highly compensated individuals (HCI), highly compensated employees (HCE), and key employees (KEY). Finally, we identify the applicable employer-sponsored plans that are subject to the nondiscrimination tests.

Once all of the different subjects have been properly identified, our team will begin to collect data from each individual. The data we collect includes the employee’s spouse and dependent status, participant plan enrollments, and contribution data.
