MINNEAPOLIS (March 22, 2006) - Ceridian (www.myceridian.com), a leader in human resources outsourcing management solutions, announced today that its Retirement Plan Services unit now provides recordkeeping services for new Roth 401(k) provisions.
The new provisions allow 401(k) plan participants to defer a portion of their salary to the plan on an after-tax basis. While the employee is taxed on the Roth 401(k) contribution in the year the contribution is made, the Roth 401(k) contribution grows tax-free in the plan and together with earnings will be tax-free when distributed to the participant as a qualified distribution. To withdraw the earnings tax-free, the Roth contribution must remain in the plan for at least five years and the participant must have attained age 59 ½ (death and disability also qualify).
Ceridian provides complete administration and compliance services of Roth 401(k) accounts. Working with premier trustee and custody partners, Ceridian provides resources to help a company manage its fiduciary responsibilities. And Ceridian manages separate recordkeeping accounts for the Roth 401(k) and traditional 401(k)s. Ceridian's Roth 401(k) service is available now for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2006.
