Participant Education
The IRS and DOL are cracking down on plan sponsors who are not following their established retirement plan processes. There are a few common findings from plan audits including failure to properly notify and enroll employees in accordance with the plan document and inadequate documentation supporting participant enrollment and elections. Aside from complying with their fiduciary responsibilities, plan sponsors should put employee education at the top of their priority list.
