412i Carve Out Discrimination Tests

  Ratio Percentage Test
 

Ratio of the percentage of covered Non Highly Compensated Employees (NHSE) to the percentage of covered Highly Compensated Employees (HSE) must be 70% or greater.

Example: In a business with 8 employees eligible for coverage, 2 are highly compensated (HSE) and 6 are not. The percentage of covered HSE is 25% and the percentage of covered NHSE is 75%. The ratio of the percentage of the two groups is 300% (75% / 25%)
