<a href="https://www.paychex.com/retirement-services/pooled-employer-plans">Pooled Employer 401(k) Plan</a>
<p>Less Work and Lower Cost</p>
Traditional 401(k)
More Control
Reduced administrative costs. Economies of scale.
Potentially higher administration costs than a PEP.
The Pooled Plan Provider (P3) significantly reduces plan set-up responsibilities, including contracting with vendors and the investment manager.
As plan sponsor, the employer is involved in set-up such as plan design, choosing investments, and coordinating with vendors.
The P3 is the Plan Sponsor and relieves the employer of significant fiduciary liability.
The employer has more control but also more fiduciary risk.
The P3 assumes responsibility for audits, potentially saving employers $10,000-$20,000
The employer of a large plan must oversee and pay for costly audits.
