Easily manage your 401(k) retirement plan

"ADP Retirement Services record keeping was rated 'Best Value for the Money' by retirement plan advisors."1

Choose the fund option you want, from unbiased investment choices

Making the best possible investment choices for your plan is critical to its success. Whether your advisor is providing investment advisory services or you are considering hiring a third party for this support, ADP can accommodate your plan needs. And as an independent record keeper, we have no investment bias or hidden agenda.

Control risk with advisory services

When you sponsor a retirement plan, your company is responsible for the investment selection and monitoring associated with your plan — and that's more than most small (1-49 employees) or midsized (50-999 employees) companies want to take on, especially since one in three retirement plans have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or Department of Labor (DOL). 2

ADP can help you reduce this “investment fiduciary burden”:

  • For plans working with an advisor, Mesirow Financial offers co-fiduciary or investment manager services, depending on the support needed. 3
  • For plans not working with an advisor, ADP's affiliate, ADP Strategic Plan Services, LLC, is available. 4

Get flexible plan design and easy setup

Whether you are looking to establish a new retirement plan or move your plan to ADP, we can help you design a plan that meets the needs of your workforce and answers questions like:

  • At what age should my employees be eligible to participate in the plan?
  • How long should employees work for me before qualifying to join the plan?
  • Should my employees have access to a third-party online investment advisory service?
  • Is a Safe Harbor plan a good choice for my company?
  • Should the plan offer employees a Roth 401(k) option?
  • Would my employees benefit from automatic enrollment?

And when it comes to implementation, we make it easy, with a specialized ADP manager to help ensure the process runs smoothly.

If you're already an ADP payroll client, you'll gain efficiency with seamless integration between ADP's payroll and ADP's 401(k) plan record-keeping systems. SMARTSync:

  • Eliminates the manual data entry associated with many plan administration tasks. ADP commissioned Retirement Insights, LLC to examine how plan sponsors value integration. Survey respondents reported an 86 percent time savings through the integration process.
  • Means less work and less compliance risk with preset programming that manages tasks and checks for errors, delivering greater data accuracy. The majority of survey respondents said integrating services reduced their compliance concerns.5

SMARTSync Comprehensive Plan Automation continuously shares critical plan data between ADP payroll and ADP retirement plan record-keeping systems, where data is checked for accuracy and potential errors are flagged.

SMARTSync integrates with certain ADP payroll and all-in-one HR solutions, including RUN Powered by ADP® and ADP Workforce Now®.
