Elective Deferrals. An Employee will be eligible to become a Contributing Participant in the Plan (and thus be eligible to make Elective Deferrals) and receive Matching Contributions (including Qualified Matching Contributions, if applicable) after completing 1 (enter 0, 1 or any fraction less than 1) Years of Eligibility Service.
Elective Deferrals. A Participant may enter into a Elective Deferrals Agreement with the Employer authorizing the Employer to withhold a portion of such Participant's Compensation not to exceed $7,000 per calendar year as adjusted for inflation or, if lesser, the percentage of Compensation specified in the Adoption Agreement and to deposit such amount to the Plan. No Participant shall be permitted to have Elective Deferrals made under this Plan or any other qualified plan maintained by the Employer, during any taxable year, in excess of the dollar limitation contained in Code Section 402(g) in effect at the beginning of such taxable year. Thus, the $7,000 limit may be reduced if a Participant contributes pre-tax contributions to qualified plans of this or other Employers. Any such contribution shall be credited to the Employee's Elective Deferrals Account. Unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may amend his or her Elective Deferrals Agreement to increase, decrease or terminate the percentage upon 30 days written notice to the Employer. If a Participant terminates his or her agreement, such Participant shall not be permitted to put a new Elective Deferrals Agreement into effect until the first pay period in the next Plan Year, unless otherwise stated in the Adoption Agreement. The Employer may also amend or terminate said agreement on written notice to the Participant. If a Participant has not authorized the Employer to withhold at the maximum rate and desires to increase the total withheld for a Plan Year, such Participant may authorize the Employer upon 30 days notice to withhold a supplemental amount up to 100% of his or her Compensation for one or more pay periods. In no event may the sum of the amounts withheld under the Elective Deferrals Agreement plus the supplemental withholding exceed 25% of a Participant's Compensation for a Plan Year. The Employer may also recharacterize as after-tax Voluntary Contributions all or any portion of amounts previously withheld under any Elective Deferrals Agreement within the Plan Year as provided for at paragraph 10.10. This may be done to insure that the Plan will meet one of the antidiscrimination tests under Code Section 401(k). Elective Deferrals shall be deposited in the Trust within 30 days after being withheld from the Participant's pay. Elective Deferrals are permitted only in Standardized Adoption Agreement 003, Nonstandardized Adoption Agreement 006, and Standardized Adoption Agreement 009.
Elective Deferrals. Annual Limitation The maximum amount that you may defer to this SEP for any calendar year is limited to the lesser of fifteen percent of compensation (determined without including the SEP-XXX contribution) or a dollar limit under section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code that originally was $7,000 (and is now subject to cost-of-living increases). The fifteen percent limit may be reduced if your employer also maintains a SEP to which nonelective contributions are made for a plan year, or any qualified plan to which contributions are made for such plan year. In that case, total contributions on your behalf to all such SEPs and qualified plans may not exceed the lesser of $22,500 or fifteen percent of your compensation. If these limits are exceeded, the amount you may elect to contribute to this SEP for the year will be correspondingly reduced. The dollar limit under section 402(g) of the Code is an overall limit on the maximum amount that you may defer in each calendar year to all elective SEPs and cash or deferred arrangements under section 401(k) of the Code, regardless of how many employers you may have worked for during the year. The section 402(g) limit is indexed according to the cost of living. In addition, the section 402(g) limit may be increased to $9,500 if you make salary reduction contributions under a section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity arrangement. If you are a highly compensated employee, there may be a further limit on the amount that you may contribute to a SEP-XXX for a particular year. This limit is calculated by your employer and is known as the "deferral percentage limitation." This deferral percentage limitation is based on a mathematical formula that limits the percentage of pay that highly compensated employees may elect to defer to a SEP-XXX. As discussed below, your employer will notify each highly compensated employee who has exceeded the deferral percentage limitation.
Elective Deferrals. For taxable years beginning after 2005, the term “Elective Deferrals” includes pre-tax Elective Deferrals and Xxxx Elective Deferrals. Pre-tax Elective Deferrals are a Participant’s Elective Deferrals that are not includible in the Participant’s gross income at the time deferred. Elective Deferrals are Employer contributions in lieu of cash Compensation made to the Plan on behalf of the Participant pursuant to a Salary Deferral Agreement or other deferral mechanism. With respect to any taxable year, a Participant’s Elective Deferral is the sum of all Employer contributions made on behalf of such Participant pursuant to an election to defer under any qualified cash or deferred arrangement as described in Code Section 401(k), any Simplified Employee Pension Plan with a cash or deferred arrangement as described in Code Section 408(k)(6), any SIMPLE IRA Plan described in Code Section 408(p), any plan as described under Code Section 501(c)(18), and any Employer contributions made on behalf of a Participant for the purchase of an annuity contract under Code Section 403(b) pursuant to a Salary Deferral Agreement. Elective Deferrals or Xxxx Elective Deferrals shall not include any deferrals properly distributed as Excess Annual Additions.
Elective Deferrals. (b) Voluntary Contributions (and additional amounts including required contributions and, if applicable, either repayments of loans previously defaulted on and treated as "deemed distributions" on which a tax report has been issued, and amounts paid out upon a separation from service which have been included in income and which are repaid after being re-hired by the Employer).
Elective Deferrals. If elected in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer may make contributions under a CODA.
Elective Deferrals. You may permit your employees to make elective deferrals through salary reduction or on the basis of bonuses that, at the employee's option, may be contributed to the SEP or received by the employee in cash during the year. You are responsible for telling your employees how they may make, change, or terminate elective deferrals based on either salary reduction or cash bonuses. You must also provide a form on which they may make their deferrals. This requirement may be satisfied by use of the "Model SEP Deferral Form" provided for this purpose at the end of these instructions. You may instead use a form that sets forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the average plan participant, the information contained in the Model SEP Deferral Form. Remember that no deferral election may be made with respect to compensation already received.

Elective Deferrals. May Be Disallowed You are not required to make elective deferrals to this SEP-XXX. However, if more than half of your employer's eligible employees choose not to make elective deferrals in a particular year, then no employee may participate in your employer's elective SEP for that year. If you make elective deferrals during a year in which this happens, then your deferrals for that year will be "disallowed," and the deferrals will be considered ordinary XXX contributions (which may be excess XXX contributions) rather than SEP-XXX contributions.
Elective Deferrals. Tax Treatment The amount that you may elect to contribute to your SEP-XXX is excludable from gross income, subject to the limitations discussed above, and is not includible as taxable wages on Form W-2. However, these amounts are subject to FICA taxes.
