Dunbar, Bender & Zapf, Inc. (DBZ), the largest regional retirement plan consulting and actuarial firm in the Pittsburgh area, announced that they are now offering 3(16) Fiduciary Services to assist clients with the day to day responsibilities of their retirement plan operations.
Designed to reduce the fiduciary liability and workload for business owners, 3(16) fiduciary services give employers more time to focus on running their company. The 3(16) Plan Administrator has a fiduciary responsibility for the daily operation of the retirement plan for tasks such as determining eligibility, fixing operational errors, and providing participant disclosures and notices. Thus, helping employers keep tasks accurate and complete.
“DBZ has spent countless hours over the past 2 years designing a process that will enable us to not only help reduce the employer’s administrative burden of maintaining a retirement plan but also help relieve the fiduciary liability of the business owner,” said Jill Dennis, consultant and shareholder at DBZ.
