Imputed benefit accrual service
Article Abstract:
Employers that wish to impute benefit accrual service to a highly paid executive that will be transferred to an affiliated employer should consider retaining the executive on its payroll and selling the executive's services to the other employer. Amending the defined benefit plan to allow for imputed service for vesting purposes will increase the risk of plan disqualification. Such modifications are allowable only if the same provisions are available to non-highly compensated employees, do not have the effect of favoring highly paid employees and are justified for business reasons.

The regulations allow employers to determine whether they operate qualified separate lines of business so that they can apply the minimum coverage requirements and the minimum participation rules to their qualified retirement plans. A separate line of business must be a separate organizational unit, have separate financial accountability, have separate employees and have separate management.
