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.
I've heard many horror stories of bad administrators (mostly the payroll companies) that actually ask the employer Who are your Highly Compensated Employees?. Naturally, not being versed in the code, the employer sends back who they consider highly compensated without regard to the IRS' definition.
