INTRODUCTION

 

RELIABLE PAYROLL SERVICES III LLC (the "Company") established the RELIABLE PAYROLL SERVICES   401k Plan (the "Plan") effective 01/01/2019. This Summary Plan Description describes the Plan as restated effective 01/01/2022. Any Safe Harbor provisions in the Plan, however, will be effective as of 01/01/2019. This revised Summary Plan Description supersedes all previous Summary Plan Descriptions. Although the purpose of this document is to summarize the more significant provisions of the Plan, the plan document will prevail in the event of any inconsistency. In addition, the terms of the Plan cannot be modified by written or oral statements made to you by the Plan Administrator or other personnel.

 

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

Eligible Employee

 

You are an "Eligible Employee" if you are employed by RELIABLE PAYROLL SERVICES III LLC or any affiliate who has adopted the Plan.

 

Elective Deferral Contributions and Safe Harbor Matching Contributions

 

You will become eligible to make Elective Deferral Contributions and receive Safe Harbor Matching Contributions on the first day of the calendar month, coincident with or next following the date you attain age 21 and you complete 3 months of service, measured from your date of hire, provided that you are an Eligible Employee at the end of that period.

 

Computing Service

 

With respect to eligibility to make Elective Deferral Contributions and to receive Safe Harbor Matching Contributions only, "Year of Eligibility Service" means a 12-month period beginning on your employment commencement date. In order to determine the number of whole Years of Eligibility Service, nonsuccessive periods of service and less than whole year periods of service will be aggregated on the basis that 12 months of service (30 days are deemed to be a month in the case of the aggregation of fractional months) or 365 days of service are equal to a whole year of service. You will also receive credit for any period of severance of less than 12 consecutive months. If less than one Year of Eligibility Service is required, such service will be determined by substituting such period for "12 months" and "Year" where they appear in this paragraph. To illustrate how to determine eligibility using this elapsed time method, where service is determined from date of hire, please follow this example:

 

ABC Company requires employees to have one year of service under the elapsed time method. Mr. Brown is hired on April 1. He terminates employment with ABC Company on June 15 of the same year and is subsequently rehired on November 30. His first year of service is determined by looking at the 12-month period beginning on April 1, his original hire date, and ending on the following March 31. Even though he was not continuously employed with ABC Company during this period, he was employed as of the beginning and end of the Eligibility Computation Period, so he has satisfied the one-year service requirement under the elapsed time method.

 

All eligibility service with the Company is taken into account.

 

Please note, if you are eligible to make or receive contributions you will be a "Participant" in the Plan.

 

 

CONTRIBUTIONS

 

Account

 

"Account" means all of the contributions, of whatever type, made to the Plan for a Participant, including the earnings and losses on those contributions.

 

Elective Deferral Contributions

 

You may elect to reduce your Compensation (defined below) and make a contribution to the Plan on a pre-tax basis. These pre-tax contributions are known as Elective Deferral Contributions. You may elect to defer up to 100% of your Plan Compensation on a pre-tax basis. Federal law also limits the amount you may elect to defer under this Plan and any other retirement plan permitting Elective Deferral Contributions during any calendar year ($23,000 in 2024). However, if you are age 50 or over, you may defer an additional amount, called a "Catch-up Contribution", of up to $7,500 (in 2024). These dollar limits are indexed; therefore, they may increase each year for cost-of-living adjustments.

 

You may elect to start, increase, reduce or totally suspend your elections to contribute to the Plan effective as of each pay period.

 

The Plan Administrator may establish rules regarding the manner in which your elections are made. The rules may also require that certain advance notice be given of any election. Your election regarding Elective Deferral Contributions is only effective for Compensation you will receive in the future. The Plan Administrator may also reduce or totally suspend your election if the Plan Administrator determines that your election may cause the Plan to fail to satisfy any of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Roth Contributions

 

The Plan allows Elective Deferral Contributions to be made as Roth Contributions. Roth Contributions are Elective Deferral Contributions that are made in the same manner as your pre-tax Elective Deferral Contributions except that Roth Contributions are made to the Plan on an after-tax basis. If certain requirements are met, a "qualified distribution" from your Roth Contribution Account in the Plan will not be taxed.

 

You must designate how much you would like to contribute on a pre-tax basis (normal Elective Deferral Contribution) and how much you would like to contribute as an after-tax Roth Contribution. You are not required to make any Roth Contributions. You may continue to designate all of your Elective Deferral Contribution elections as normal pre-tax contributions.

 

The sum of your Roth Contributions and normal Elective Deferral Contributions may not exceed the annual limit on normal Elective Deferral Contributions mentioned above.

 

As was mentioned above, a "qualified distribution" of your Roth Contributions (and earnings) is not taxable. A "qualified distribution" must be made more than five years after the first Roth Contribution is made and must meet at least one of the following requirements:

 

(i)         the distribution must be made after you attain age 59-1/2;

 

(ii)        the distribution must be made to your beneficiary after your death; or

 

(iii)       the distribution must be made on account of your disability.

 

Please note, Roth Contributions are not suitable for everyone. Please consult with your tax advisor before making any Roth Contributions to the Plan.

 

Safe Harbor Matching Contributions

 

The Company will contribute a matching contribution to your Safe Harbor Matching Contribution Account in an amount equal to: (i) 100% of the Matched Employee Contributions that are not in excess of 3% of your Plan Compensation, plus (ii) 50% of the amount of the Matched Employee Contributions that exceed 3% of your Plan Compensation but that do not exceed 5% of your Plan Compensation. Matching contributions will be allocated to the Safe Harbor Matching Contribution Accounts of Participants as soon as administratively feasible after the end of the Plan Year.

 

Qualified Non-Elective Contributions

 

In addition to the contributions described above, the Company may make additional Qualified Non-Elective Contributions for the benefit of such Participants determined at the discretion of the Company.

 

Rollover Contributions

 

The Plan may accept a Rollover Contribution made on behalf of any Eligible Employee, regardless of whether such employee has met the age and service requirements of the Plan. An Eligible Employee who has not yet met any of the eligibility requirements of the Plan will be deemed a Participant only with respect to amounts, if any, in his Rollover Contribution Account. In general, any eligible rollover distribution will be accepted by the Plan; however, the Plan Administrator may establish procedures that regulate the method by which Rollover Contributions will be accepted.

 

Military Service Contributions

 

If you serve in the United States armed forces and must miss work as a result of such service, you may be eligible to receive contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to any qualified military service. In addition, your survivors may be eligible to receive benefits or service credit if you die while performing qualified military service.

 

Limits on Contributions

 

The amount that may be contributed to the Plan on your behalf in any year is limited to a fixed dollar amount ($69,000 in 2024). This dollar limit is indexed; therefore, it may increase each year for cost-of-living adjustments. In addition, contributions cannot exceed 100% of your total Plan Compensation.

 

 

COMPENSATION

 

Plan Compensation

 

"Plan Compensation" means wages that are shown as taxable wages on your IRS Form W-2. For any self-employed individual, Plan Compensation will mean earned income.

 

For purposes of allocating Qualified Non-elective Contributions, Plan Compensation is determined over the Plan Year.

 

Unless otherwise indicated below, Plan Compensation will exclude Post Year End Compensation which includes amounts earned during a year but not paid during that year solely because of the timing of pay periods and pay dates when: (i) these amounts are paid during the first few weeks of the next year; (ii) the amounts are included on a uniform and consistent basis with respect to all similarly situated Employees; and (iii) no compensation is included in more than one year and Payments of unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation, or certain other leave that are paid to you after you terminate employment for purposes of all contributions.

 

The following adjustments will be made to the definition of Plan Compensation:

 

  • For purposes of Elective Deferral Contributions and Safe Harbor Matching Contributions, Plan Compensation will exclude wages paid during any period in which you are performing service in the uniformed services while on active duty for a period of more than 30 days that represents all or a portion of the wages you have received when you were performing service for the Company.

 

  • For purposes of Elective Deferral Contributions and Safe Harbor Matching Contributions, Plan Compensation will include any amount you elect to defer on a tax-preferred basis to any Company benefit plan.

 

No more than $345,000 (in 2024) of Plan Compensation may be taken into account in determining your benefits under the Plan. This dollar limit is indexed; therefore, it may increase each year for cost-of-living adjustments.

 

Please note, for purposes of all Safe Harbor Contributions, Plan Compensation will include compensation which is paid to you by the Company during the part of the Plan Year prior to becoming eligible to participate in the Plan.

 

 

VESTING

IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTIONS AND LOANS

 

Hardship Distributions

 

General Rule. You may receive a distribution on account of hardship from all of your Accounts that are fully vested, including your Qualified Non-Elective Contribution Account and Safe Harbor Matching Contribution Account. Earnings of your Elective Deferral Account are also eligible for hardship distribution.

 

Your Roth Contributions may be withdrawn on account of financial hardship in the same manner as your normal Elective Deferral Contributions. Please note however, that the income on the Roth Contributions may be taxable (and subject to penalties for early withdrawal) if the withdrawal is not a "qualified distribution."

 

Immediate and Heavy Financial Need. You may receive a hardship distribution only if the Plan Administrator finds that you have an immediate and heavy financial need where you lack other available resources. The following are the only financial needs considered immediate and heavy:

 

  1. Expenses incurred or necessary for medical care, described in Code section 213(d), for you or your spouse, children, or dependents;

 

  1. The purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Participant;

 

  1. Payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for you or your spouse, children or dependents;

 

  1. The need to prevent the eviction of you from your principal residence (or a foreclosure on the mortgage on your principal residence);

 

  1. Payments for burial or funeral expenses for your deceased parent, spouse, children or dependents;

 

  1. Expenses for the repair of damage to your principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction; or

 

  1. Expenses incurred on account of a federally declared disaster.

 

Hardship distributions may be made for certain expenses of your primary beneficiary in addition to your dependents. These expenses include those for medical, tuition, and funeral expenses. A person is your "primary beneficiary" if that person is named as a beneficiary under the Plan and has an unconditional right to all or a portion of your Account Balance upon your death.

 

There will no longer be a 6-month suspension period for your Elective Deferral Contributions, if applicable, after the receipt of the hardship distribution. In addition, any remaining portion of the 6-month suspension period for a prior hardship distribution will be discontinued on that date.

 

Amount Necessary to Satisfy Need. A distribution will be considered as necessary to satisfy your immediate and heavy financial need only if:

 

  1. You have obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, under all plans maintained by the Company;

 

  1. The distribution is not in excess of the amount of an immediate and heavy financial need (including amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution).

 

  1. You have represented in writing or by electronic medium that you have insufficient cash or other liquid assets to satisfy the financial need.

 

Withdrawals at Any Time

 

You may receive a distribution from your Rollover Contribution Account at any time.

 

In-Plan Roth Rollovers of Distributable Amounts

 

If you have money in a fully vested non-Roth Account that is eligible for a distribution from the Plan you may roll over the Account balance to a Roth (after-tax) Account under this Plan. If you roll over the payment to a designated Roth account in this Plan, the amount of the payment rolled over (reduced by any after-tax amounts directly rolled over) will be taxed. However, the 10% additional tax on early distributions will not apply (unless you take the amount rolled over out of the designated Roth account within the 5-year period that begins on January 1 of the year of the rollover). Any amount you roll over can be distributed under the rules applicable to the Account immediately prior to the rollover.

 

Rules Regarding In-Service Distributions

 

The Plan Administrator may establish uniform procedures that include, but are not limited to, prescribing limitations on the frequency and minimum amount of withdrawals. All distributions will be made in the form of a single sum as soon as practicable following the valuation date as of which such withdrawal is made. Only Employees are eligible to receive in-service distributions.

 

Loans

 

The Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may permit Participants to apply for a loan from the Plan. The Plan Administrator may further adopt any administrative rules or procedures that it deems necessary or appropriate with respect to the granting and administering of loans. Please contact the Plan Administrator for a copy of the Loan Procedures for more information regarding taking a loan from the Plan.

 

 

INVESTMENTS

 

Participant Self-Direction

 

In General. The Plan Administrator allows you to direct the investment of all of your Accounts. The Plan Administrator may establish uniform guidelines and procedures relating to Participant self-direction.

 

Investment Elections. You may direct the percentage of your Accounts to be invested in one or more of the available investment funds. Your elections will be subject to such rules and limitations as the Plan Administrator may prescribe. After your death, your beneficiary may make investment elections as if the beneficiary were the Participant. However, the Plan Administrator may restrict investment transfers to the extent required to comply with applicable law.

 

Voting Rights

 

You may not direct the Trustee as to the exercise of voting rights with respect to any Trust Fund Investment.

 

Valuation Dates

 

Accounts are valued on the last day of the Plan Year. The Plan Administrator may in its sole discretion declare a special Valuation Date for that portion of the Plan that is not daily-valued in extraordinary situations to protect the interests of Participants in the Plan or the Participant receiving the distribution. Such extraordinary circumstances include a significant change in economic conditions or market value of the Trust Fund.

 

 

SPECIAL TOP-HEAVY RULES

 

Minimum Allocations

CLAIMS PROCEDURES

The Plan Administrator may request any additional information necessary to evaluate the claim.

 

Timing of Notice of Denied Claim. The Plan Administrator will notify the Claimant of any adverse benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 90 days (45 days if the claim relates to a disability determination) after receipt of the claim. This period may be extended one time by the Plan for up to 90 days (30 additional days if the claim relates to a disability determination), provided that the Plan Administrator both determines that such an extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Plan and notifies the Claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial review period, of the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render a decision. If the claim relates to a disability determination, the period for making the determination may be extended for up to an additional 30 days if the Plan Administrator notifies the Claimant prior to the expiration of the first 30-day extension period.

 

Content of Notice of Denied Claim. If a claim is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator will provide the Claimant with a written notice identifying:

 

  1. The reason or reasons for such denial,

 

  1. The pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based,

 

  1. Any material or information needed to grant the claim and an explanation of why the additional information is necessary, and

 

  1. An explanation of the steps that the Claimant must take if he wishes to appeal the denial including a statement that the Claimant may bring a civil action under ERISA.

 

Appeals of Denied Claim. If a Claimant wishes to appeal the denial of a claim, he must file a written appeal with the Plan Administrator on or before the 60th day (180th day if the claim relates to a disability determination) after he receives the Plan Administrator's written notice that the claim has been wholly or partially denied. The written appeal must identify both the grounds and specific Plan provisions upon which the appeal is based. The Claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge, documents and other information relevant to his claim. A written appeal may also include any comments, statements or documents that the Claimant may desire to provide. The Plan Administrator will consider the merits of the Claimant's written presentations, the merits of any facts or evidence in support of the denial of benefits, and such other facts and circumstances as the Plan Administrator may deem relevant. The Claimant will lose the right to appeal if the appeal is not timely made. The Plan Administrator will ordinarily rule on an appeal within 60 days (45 days if the claim relates to a disability determination). However, if special circumstances require an extension and the Plan Administrator furnishes the Claimant with a written extension notice during the initial period, the Plan Administrator may take up to 120 days (90 days if the claim relates to a disability determination) to rule on an appeal.

 

Denial of Appeal. If an appeal is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator will provide the Claimant with a notice identifying:

 

  1. The reason or reasons for such denial,

 

  1. The pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based,

 

  1. A statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant's claim for benefits, and

Determinations of Disability. If the claim relates to a disability determination, determinations of the Plan Administrator will include the information required under applicable United States Department of Labor regulations.

 

 

YOUR RIGHTS UNDER ERISA

 

As a participant, you are entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). This federal law provides that you have the right to:

 

Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator's office and at other specified locations, such as worksites and union halls, all documents governing the Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

 

Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and updated Summary Plan Description. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.

 

Receive a summary of the Plan's annual financial report. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report.

 

Obtain, once a year, a statement from the Plan Administrator regarding your Accrued Benefit under the Plan and the nonforfeitable (vested) portion of your Accrued Benefit, if any. This statement must be requested in writing and is not required to be given more than once every 12 months. The Plan must provide the statement free of charge.

 

In addition, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the Plan. The people who operate the Plan, called "fiduciaries" of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer, your union, or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining your benefits or exercising your rights under ERISA.

 

If your claim for a benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator.

 

If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or Federal court. In addition, if you disagree with the Plan's decision or lack thereof concerning the qualified status of a domestic relations order, you may file suit in Federal court. If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan's money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a Federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.

 

If you have any questions about the Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

 

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Domestic Relations Orders

 

Under certain circumstances, a court may issue a domestic relations order assigning a portion of your benefits under the Plan to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent. The Plan Administrator will determine whether the order is a qualified domestic relations order ("QDRO"). If the Plan Administrator determines that the order is a QDRO, it will implement the terms of the QDRO and divide your Account accordingly. You may obtain, without charge, a copy of the Plan's QDRO procedures from the Plan Administrator.

 

Assignment and Alienation of Benefits

 

Except as provided below, your Account is held in trust and cannot be assigned and, to the extent permitted by law, is not subject to any form of attachment, garnishment, sequestration or other actions of collection. You may not alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments which you may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan, except that you may designate a beneficiary.

 

However, you may lose all or part of your balance:

 

  1. Pursuant to the terms of a QDRO;

 

  1. To comply with any federal tax levy; or

 

  1. To comply with the provisions and conditions of a judgment, order, decree or settlement agreement between you and the Secretary of Labor or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation relating to your violation (or alleged violation) of ERISA fiduciary responsibilities.

 

Amendment and Termination

 

Although the Company intends to maintain the Plan indefinitely, the Company may amend or terminate the Plan at any time in its sole discretion. If any of these actions is taken, you will be notified. However, no such action may permit any part of Plan assets to be used for any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of participants and beneficiaries or cause any reduction in your vested Account balance as of the date of the amendment or termination. If the Plan is terminated, all amounts credited to your Account will become 100% vested.

 

Fees

 

Your Account may be charged for some of the costs and expenses of operating the Plan. Such expenses include the following:

 

The Plan may charge affected Participants only for the expenses of receiving a distribution following termination of employment (if applicable to the Participant) in the following manner: fees charged by the financial Institution and/or TPA.

 

The Plan may charge affected Participants only for the expenses of determining required minimum distributions (if applicable to the Participant) in the following manner: fees charged by the financial Institution and/or TPA.

Fees listed above are subject to change. Please check with the Plan Administrator to be sure you have a current fee listing.

 

Insurance

 

The Plan is not insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) because it is not a defined benefit pension plan.

 

Administrator Discretion

 

The Plan Administrator has the authority to make factual determinations, to construe and interpret the provisions of the Plan, to correct defects and resolve ambiguities in the Plan and to supply omissions to the Plan. Any construction, interpretation or application of the Plan by the Plan Administrator is final, conclusive and binding.

 

Plan Not a Contract of Employment

 

The Plan does not constitute, and is not to be deemed to constitute, an employment contract between the Company and any employee or an inducement or condition of employment of any employee. Nothing in the Plan is to be deemed to give any employee the right to be retained in the Company's service or to interfere with the Company's right to discharge any employee at any time.

 

Waiver

 

Any failure by the Plan or the Plan Administrator to insist upon compliance with any of the Plan's provisions at any time or under any set of circumstances does not operate to waive or modify the provision or in any other manner render it unenforceable as to any other time or as to any other occurrence, whether the circumstances are the same or different. No waiver of any term or condition of the Plan is valid or of any force or effect unless it is expressed in writing and signed by a person authorized by the Plan Administrator to grant a waiver.

 

Errors

 

Any clerical or similar error by the Plan Administrator cannot give coverage under the Plan to any individual who otherwise does not qualify for coverage under the Plan. An error cannot give a benefit to an individual who is not actually entitled to the benefit.
