Top-heavy Plan
Definition of "Top-heavy plan"
Pension or other employee benefit plan that favors highly compensated employees or top executives or owners of a company. Prior to the tax reform act of 1986, there was no uniform definition of a "highly compensated" employee, but that law provides a specific definition that is used for qualified pension plans, 401 (k) plans, and some other employee benefits. An employee is considered highly compensated if he or she: (1) directly or indirectly owns more than a 5% interest in the company, (2) receives compensation from the company of more than $75,000, (3) is paid more than $50,000 and was among the top 20% of employees ranked by compensation, or (4) is at any time an officer and receives compensation that was more than 150% of the Section 415 defined-contribution dollar amount.
