Safe harbor 401(k)

A safe harbor 401(k) plan is a tax-advantaged retirement plan that ensures employees have minimum contributions made to their individual 401(k) plans, regardless of their title, compensation, or length of service. Employers must make contributions on behalf of their employees without a vesting period. In exchange, safe harbor plans bypass key IRS discrimination tests.
