Is a NQDC Plan Right for Your Organization?

Help your employees address the retirement gap

A common theme we hear from employers is that they are investing a significant amount of time and money to recruit and retain talent, and that they must navigate a highly competitive dynamic labor market environment and face a growing list of complexities.

When evaluating if a nonqualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plan is suitable for your organization, one of the key factors to consider is current contribution amounts. If your employees are not maxing out their 401(k) plan, then they likely can’t afford to defer additional amounts into a NQDC plan. However, they may not be aware there are solutions, like a NQDC plan, for them to save more than annual contribution limits.
