Defined Contribution "B Plan": Money Purchase Plan (MPP) of 12% Company contribution up to IRS 401a17 compensation limit, no "cash over cap"
401K - different pot of money than Company-funded MPP, 100% employee funded, no company match
just curious, what about ERISA law requires the flat dollar amount be renegotiated? (Instead of just a formula like 12 x top hourly rate)
