TOP HEAVY MINIMUM ALLOCATION UNDER STANDARDIZED PLAN Clause Samples

The "Top Heavy Minimum Allocation Under Standardized Plan" clause ensures that, in retirement plans where a significant portion of benefits is concentrated among key employees (making the plan "top heavy"), minimum contributions are provided to non-key employees. In practice, this means that if the plan meets the top-heavy criteria, the employer must allocate a specified minimum percentage of compensation to eligible non-key employees' accounts, regardless of their own deferral or participation levels. This clause is designed to maintain fairness and compliance with IRS regulations by protecting the retirement benefits of lower-paid employees when a plan disproportionately favors higher-paid or key personnel.
TOP HEAVY MINIMUM ALLOCATION UNDER STANDARDIZED PLAN. Subject to the Employer's election under Section 3.04(B)(3), the top heavy minimum allocation requirement applies to a Standardized Plan for each Plan Year, irrespective of whether the Plan is top heavy. (a) Each Participant employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year will receive a top heavy minimum allocation for that Plan Year. The Employer may elect in Section 3.04 of its Adoption Agreement to apply this paragraph (a) only to a Participant who is a Non-Key Employee. (b) Subject to any overriding elections in Section 3.18 of the Employer's Adoption Agreement, the top heavy minimum allocation is the lesser of 3% of the Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year or the highest contribution rate for the Plan Year made on behalf of any Participant for the Plan Year. However, if the Employee participates in Paired Plans, the top heavy minimum allocation is 3% of his Compensation. If, under Adoption Agreement Section 3.04, the Employer elects to apply paragraph (a) only to a Participant who is a Non-Key Employee, the Advisory Committee will determine the "highest contribution rate" described in the first sentence of this paragraph (b) by reference only to the contribution rates of Participants who are Key Employees for the Plan Year.

  • TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS A. Top Heavy Status

  • Safe Harbor The recipient government will then compare the reporting year’s actual tax revenue to the baseline. If actual tax revenue is greater than the baseline, Treasury will deem the recipient government not to have any recognized net reduction for the reporting year, and therefore to be in a safe harbor and outside the ambit of the offset provision. This approach is consistent with the ARPA, which contemplates recoupment of Fiscal Recovery Funds only in the event that such funds are used to offset a reduction in net tax revenue. If net tax revenue has not been reduced, this provision does not apply. In the event that actual tax revenue is above the baseline, the organic revenue growth that has occurred, plus any other revenue-raising changes, by definition must have been enough to offset the in-year costs of the covered changes.

  • Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss To the extent that any allocation of Net Loss would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Holder, such allocation of Net Loss shall be reallocated (x) first, among the other Holders of Partnership Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests with respect to Partnership Common Units and (y) thereafter, among the Holders of other classes of Partnership Units as determined by the General Partner, subject to the limitations of this Section 6.4.A(vi).

  • Special Maternity Allowance for Totally Disabled Employees (a) An employee who: (i) fails to satisfy the eligibility requirement specified in subparagraph 17.02(a)(ii) solely because a concurrent entitlement to benefits under the Disability Insurance (DI) Plan, the Long term Disability (LTD) Insurance portion of the Public Service Management Insurance Plan (PSMIP) or the Government Employees Compensation Act prevents her from receiving Employment Insurance or Québec Parental Insurance Plan maternity benefits, and (ii) has satisfied all of the other eligibility criteria specified in paragraph 17.02(a), other than those specified in sections (A) and (B) of subparagraph 17.02(a)(iii), shall be paid, in respect of each week of maternity allowance not received for the reason described in subparagraph (i), the difference between ninety-three per cent (93%) of her weekly rate of pay and the gross amount of her weekly disability benefit under the DI Plan, the LTD Plan or via the Government Employees Compensation Act. (b) An employee shall be paid an allowance under this clause and under clause 17.02 for a combined period of no more than the number of weeks during which she would have been eligible for maternity benefits under the Employment Insurance or Québec Parental Insurance Plan had she not been disqualified from Employment Insurance or Québec Parental Insurance maternity benefits for the reasons described in subparagraph (a)(i).

  • Elective Deferrals (a) The Committee may establish procedures pursuant to which Employee may elect to defer, until a time or times later than the vesting of a Performance Share Unit, receipt of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of a Performance Share Unit, all on such terms and conditions as the Committee (or its designee) shall determine in its sole discretion. If any such deferrals are permitted for Employee, then notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, an Employee who elects such deferral shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any such deferred shares of Common Stock unless and until the date the deferral expires and certificates representing such shares are required to be delivered to Employee. The foregoing notwithstanding, no deferrals of Dividend Equivalents related to any Performance Share Units under this Award will be permitted. Moreover, the Committee further retains the authority and discretion to modify and/or terminate existing deferral elections, procedures and distribution options. (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if deferral of Performance Share Units is permitted, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to permit the deferral of compensation only as allowed in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and any provision that would conflict with such requirements shall not be valid or enforceable. Employee acknowledges, without limitation, and consents that application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code to this Agreement may require additional delay of payments otherwise payable under this Agreement. Employee and the Company further hereby agree to execute such further instruments and take such further action as reasonably may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
