A Safe Harbor 401k is similar to a traditional 401k plan, but the employer is
required to make contributions for each employee. The employer contributions in
Safe Harbor 401k plans are immediately 100% vested. The Safe Harbor 401k eases
administrative burdens on employers by eliminating some of the complex tax rules
ordinarily applied to traditional 401k plans.
