Profit sharing means an employer or company owner shares business profits (up to 25% of the company's payroll) with employees. The employer can decide how much to set aside each year.
How Do You Set Up a Profit-Sharing Plan (and How Does a Profit-Sharing Plan Work)? Decide on the percentage you'd like to share. The percentage of profits you share is completely up to you. Decide who qualifies for profit sharing—and when. Think through your communication plan.
Generally, profit sharing percentages range from 5% to 15% of an employee's annual salary or of the company's pre-tax profits divided among all eligible employees.
Traditional profit sharing plans are subject to annual testing to ensure that the contributions made for rank-and-file employees are proportional to contributions made for owners and managers.
Plans that fall under ERISA include defined benefits and defined contributions plans, 401 plans(k), 413b plans, EPSOPs, or profit-sharing plans. ERISA also covers private health plans such as health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs).
Since a profit-sharing plan is a “qualified retirement plan,” it must also comply with all applicable rules under ERISA.
