Non-Qualified
Deferred Compensation
We administer Section 125 plans which include premium
only plans, childcare, and medical reimbursement plans.
We will provide reimbursement to your employees for
medical bills submitted to us according to the provisions
of the plan as to the amount allowed each employee to
reduce their compensation tax free up to the maximum limit
they have chosen and not to exceed the amount allowed
under the cafeteria plan document.
With the limits on qualified contributions to defined

an employee to contribute to a non-qualified plan along
with the employer contributions.
These plans are designed on an individual basis with
the needs of the employer and employees in mind.
