FREE GUIDE · FOR PLAN SPONSORS

401(k) Compliance Calendar and Administration Guide

A practical framework for plan sponsors and the HR and finance people who run the plan day to day. Keep key duties visible, documented, and on schedule across the plan year.

WHAT'S INSIDE

A steadier rhythm for plan administration.

  • The annual rhythm of the plan year, at a glance.
  • Dates, owners, and next actions for keeping work moving.
  • Reviewing plan documents and updating the employee census.
  • Contributions, loans, Form 5500, annual compliance testing, and who does what.
  • Records, deadlines, participant data, and a closing checklist.

The dates are a planning map. Some depend on the employer's tax filing status, plan design, participant count, or an approved extension, so confirm them against the plan document and applicable service arrangements.
