We suggest using the grid *ftw Primary 4 Census exclude certain comp(414s comp test) (d915e5d) as the primary census grid - you can copy and modify it if you need to. This grid has three columns for compensation - Stat Comp, Stat Comp from Entry, and Plan Comp. You will need to enter amounts in all three columns for all participants. You also need to indicate in the Combined Test task parameters that compensation testing is required for the applicable sources and enter a de minimis amount to use in the test. The compensation test report will be found under the Combined Test reports.
Stat Comp: statutory compensation
Stat Comp from Entry: statutory compensation less pre-entry compensation (this would differ from the Stat Comp for those who entered the plan mid-year)
Plan Comp: stat comp from entry less any excluded compensation (bonuses, overtime, etc.)
*The software does not run compensation testing on deferrals or Safe Harbor contributions.
