Employee Details

Field Description
5 Percent Owner

Select this check box to identify this employee as a five percent owner of the company. If you select this check box, Costpoint automatically selects the High Compensation Group Member check box to indicate that this employee belongs to the highly compensated group.

An employee is considered a five percent owner if, at any time during the lookback year or the current plan year, that employee owned or is considered to own:

  • More than five percent of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation, or
  • Stock having more than five percent of the total combined voting power of all stock of the corporation.

If the employer is not a corporation, a five percent owner is an employee who owns more than five percent of the capital, or more than five percent of the interest in profits, of the company.

Top Ten Paid Employee

Select this check box to identify this employee as one of the ten most highly compensated employees in your company.

Officer

Select this check box to identify this employee as an officer in the company. If you select this check box, Costpoint does not automatically select the High Compensation Group Member check box.

An employee is considered an officer of the company to the extent that his duties and authority qualify him as such. Titles are not pertinent in determining officer rank; rather, the duties that the employee performs are meaningful.

High Compensation Group Member

Select this check box to identify this employee as a member of the highly compensated group in the company. Costpoint selects this check box automatically if you select the 5 Percent Owner check box. You can use the Print Employee Compensation Plan Report screen in Costpoint Compensation to determine who the highly compensated employees are within your company. Deltek recommends that you select this check box for qualifying employees when printing any of the reports in this module.
