What is a Multiple Employer Plan (MEP)?

Multiple Employer Plans (MEPs) are a unique retirement plan for businesses that typically have a common interest but are not commonly owned or affiliated. These businesses are referred to as adopting employers when they elect to join the MEP. These plans can be defined contribution (DC) or defined benefit (DB) plans.

  • A MEP is a retirement plan sponsored by one entity for unrelated organizations that share a common business interest.
  • By joining the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce 401(k) Multiple Employer Plan (MEP) you are able to provide a powerful retirement plan, help save money, and spend less time administering it.
  • When you join the MEP you will no longer have to file an individual Form 5500 or conduct an annual audit. The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce handles these responsibilities on behalf of all adopting employers.
  • The partnership between 401(k) & 403(b) Fiduciary Advisors, Inc. and Transamerica provides your employees access to a high-quality plan with diversified investment options selected and monitored by a professional investment manager.
