Long-Term Part-Time Employees

Long-term part-time employees are generally employees who work between 500 and 1,000 hours per year for a minimum of three consecutive years. Beginning in 2024 under the SECURE Act 2.0 companies are required to to offer retirement plan entry who meet the above criteria. Prior to the SECURE Act 2.0 comp-anies were able to exclude employees who worked less than 1,000 hours from eligibility. Employees must continue to meet the standard age requirement (most common age 21) to participate in the retirement plan.
