Federal Compliance Update
Earlier this year, we communicated advising of SECURE Act 2.0 requirements for Long-Term, Part-Time (LTPT) employees. We have now updated the 'Next Steps' process, and you can find those updates below in this Insights and Solutions article. The following features are now available to assist with identification of, and maintenance for, LTPT employees based on these requirements:
-
Viewing an employee’s LTPT Indicator in MyResource®
-
You can view an employee’s LTPT identifier by navigating to HR > Employee Custom Fields > Secure Act Retirement > Long-Term Part-Time
-
B = LTPT EE – Block ER Match
-
L = LTPT EE
-
If your company utilizes ADP® Retirement Services, the “Long-Term Part-Time Employee” status will automatically be updated.
Note: If your company does not utilize ADP Retirement Services you must contact your ADP service team if you wish to exclude LTPT employees from receiving 401(k) match contributions, as existing match calculations will need to be updated to ensure this exclusion.
Please contact your ADP® Service Representative if you wish to exclude LTPT employees from receiving 401(k) match contributions, as existing match calculations will need to be updated to ensure this exclusion.
