Several state legislatures have enacted mandates requiring small businesses to offer a retirement plan to their employees. Some state governments even offer state-run retirement plans as an option for small business owners. Depending on the state you live in, these mandates may affect you. As you might assume, generally these state-run alternatives aren’t as attractive as the Sallus PEP solution as you can see in the head-to-head comparison we have performed.

Next, let us know if your company wants to make what’s called an ‘employer contribution’ to the plan. An employer contribution is generally tax deductible to the company, and it provides a nice added benefit to your employees – but it is certainly not required. The employer contribution is in addition to the employees’ own plan contributions.

If you do want to contribute, you have choices:

Please note: by saying ‘no’ or ‘not sure,’ there is a bit of a trade-off. The plan would subject to certain plan testing, which incurs an additional fee. As a result of the test, business owners and some highly paid employees may not be able to maximize their contributions.


The advantage of saying ‘Yes’ is that the plan can avoid certain plan testing. This means that business owners and all employees are able to maximize their contributions.
