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.
Highly Compensated Employees An HCE is any employee who meets either an ownership test or a compensation test at any time during the plan year in question or in the immediately preceding plan year. Ownership test: An employee is an HCE based on ownership if he or she owns more than 5% of the company sponsoring the plan at any time during the current plan year or during the previous year.
