Title: Payroll Deduction Programs for Contributions to Individual Retirement Accounts (Interpretive Bulletin) 
Abstract: This interpretive bulletin will compile for ease of reference the views of the Department of Labor (the Department) concerning the circumstances under which the use of a payroll deduction program for forwarding employee monies to an individual retirement account annuity will not constitute an employee pension benefit plan subject to title I of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). This guidance is intended to assist employers in their efforts to provide retirement savings opportunities to employees by clarifying the circumstances under which the use of payroll deduction programs will not implicate provisions of parts 1 (Reporting and Disclosure), 4 (Fiduciary Responsibility) and 5 (Administration and Enforcement) of title I of ERISA.
