For CB and DB plans, a 3-year statutory compensation history is essential for determining the correct IRC 415 final average compensation for highly compensated individuals, and for traditional DB plans with a definition of final average compensation in the plan’s benefit formula, all years of relevant pensionable compensation for every employee should be loaded to the system.
