SAR-SEP Salery Reduction Plans (Advantages)

The Jacobs Company Employee Sponsored Plans Salary Reduction SEPs (Simple Plan)

The Basics: A Simple Plan provides an employer with a simplified method of establishing a retirement plan into which employees can direct their own pre-tax dollars. Participating employees agree to have their salary reduced (or to forego receipt of a bonus), and the employer contributes those funds to an IRA for the employee instead of into his or her paycheck.

The employee's salary deferrals are made directly to SEP-IRAs set up for each employee with a bank, insurance company or other qualified financial institution.

Contributions are not taxed currently to the employee, and earnings accumulate income tax-defeff ed.
