PDG is Your Partner in Proactive Retirement Plan Compliance

Rather than reacting to issues, PDG helps you stay ahead of compliance requirements. Our services ensure your retirement plan is always up-to-date and in good standing.

Non-Discrimination Testing

PDG verifies that your plan meets nondiscrimination requirements by comparing participation rates between highly compensated employees (HCEs) and non-highly compensated employees (NHCEs).

Contribution Limits

PDG ensures that individual contributions do not exceed annual limits set by the IRS. We monitor employer contributions to ensure they comply with safe harbor rules.

Plan Documentation

PDG reviews your plan documents, including the Summary Plan Description (SPD), to confirm accuracy and completeness. We verify that the plan's provisions align with legal requirements.

Operational Compliance

PDG audits your administrative processes, such as enrollment, benefit calculations, vesting, and distribution procedures. We confirm that loans and hardship withdrawals follow plan rules.

Fiduciary Responsibilities

PDG assesses your fiduciary practices, including investment monitoring, fee disclosures, and participant education. We ensure your compliance with ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) guidelines.
