What is a Multiple Employer Plan (MEP)? A Multiple Employer Plan (MEP) is a single Qualified Retirement Plan housing multiple different "adopting employers" with common retirement savings objectives. This unique type of plan construct offers numerous advantages and administrative efficiencies when compared to a typical stand-alone plan sponsored by a single employer.

Employer Advantages in a MEP 401(k) Plan vs. Traditional 401(k) Fiduciary Liability: While Employers retain full fiduciary liability in Traditional 401(k)s, MEP employers outsource the role of plan sponsor as well as all associated fiduciary responsibilities. Expenses: Traditional 401(k) plans can be costly in terms of fees and administrative costs. MEPs employers generally enjoy greater economies of scale. Annual Filings: Traditional 401(k) plan sponsors must file IRS Form 5500 and may have to perform an expensive and cumbersome IRS audit while MEP employers are relieved of these responsibilities as well as the associated costs.
