Setting up cap/limit on new percentage-based, non-Roth after-tax 401k option
We’ve received a request from our Benefits team to add a non-Roth, after-tax 401(k) savings option with a contribution cap based on a percentage of earnings. They’d like this implemented as soon as possible.
We recently applied a PUM update (05/31/2025) to support pre-tax enhanced/super catch-up contributions.
Allow employees to contribute after-tax (non-Roth) dollars .
- Important enrollment rules - employees may choose this option before maxing out their pre-tax or Roth 401(k) contributions.
- Limit contributions to a maximum of 5% of employee's eligible earnings.
- Ensure it works with Ben Admin and Payroll for North America.
- Stay within IRS 415(c) limits and support nondiscrimination testing.
