This issue’s topics include:

Case in point: inadvertently failing to add a newly eligible employee to the roster of 401(k) plan participants. While excluding an eligible employee isn’t the worst mistake plan sponsors could make, this article looks at why it’s important to identify the error sooner rather than later and take prompt remedial action.
