If an employee makes more than $110,000, she is considered a highly compensated employee. The term highly compensated employee is important because it relates to 401(k) rules. Every 401(k) plan has to be weighted equally among all of the employees. If only the highly compensated employees in the company are contributing to the 401(k), it will be considered uneven, and the 401k may be shut down.
For purposes of applying these nondiscrimination rules, a highly compensated employee (âHCEâ) for 2003 is an employee who meets either of the following tests: 1  The employee was a 5% owner at any time during the year or the preceding year. 2  The employee received more than $ 90,000 in pay for the preceding year.
