The Executive Benefits Team is pleased to share the following report, prepared by the Employee Benefits group at Isler Dare PC.

As we enter June, we want to help you keep a few deadlines in mind. June is often a good month for taking care of benefits and retirement special projects as the number of other deadlines is reduced.

“An employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is an IRC section 401(a) qualified defined contribution plan that is a stock bonus plan or a stock bonus/money purchase plan. An ESOP must be designed to invest primarily in qualifying employer securities as defined by IRC section 4975(e)(8) and meet certain requirements of the Code and regulations. The IRS and Department of Labor share jurisdiction over some ESOP features.”
