This program was recorded during a live presentation given on May 4, 2017 at 12:00PM EST.
*******************************************************************************

Correctly identifying Highly Compensated Employees is one of the most fundamental aspects of proper coverage and nondiscrimination testing. While most practitioners understand the basics, comparatively few truly understand the most vexing details. Questions regarding calendar year elections, short plan years, the top 20% election, and how related employers factor in can complicate this seemingly simple requirement.
