SECURE Act 2.0: Why Employers Still Need to Pay Attention to This Law
Although the SECURE Act 2.0 became law several years ago, implementation is still underway. Many of its provisions continue to affect retirement plan administration, requiring employers to update procedures, plan documents, and day-to-day operations as new requirements take effect.
For example:
- Expanded eligibility rules for long-term part-time employees require employers to accurately track hours and determine when employees become eligible to participate.
- Automatic enrollment provisions for certain new plans may require changes to payroll systems and employee onboarding processes.
- Roth catch-up contribution requirements introduce additional payroll coordination and administrative responsibilities.
Implementing these changes requires coordination among employers, payroll providers, recordkeepers, and retirement plan administrators. Employers who review their plans ahead of implementation deadlines can make operational adjustments before issues arise.
