Special Pay Plans: The smart way to reduce taxes and payroll costs


These IRS approved plans save the public sector millions in payroll taxes every year

The IRS currently allows organizations like yours to place employees’ unused vacation, sick, and holiday leave pay into a tax-deferred 401(a), 403(b), or 457(b) retirement plan, which permanently saves both them and your organization up to 7.65% in FICA taxes

“Working with a Special Pay Plan has been very helpful to our district and to [our] employees. Annually, we save approximately $2 million in taxes, and our employees get the benefit of being able to defer their taxes and then possibly leave their money where it is and earn interest.”
