elects in the plan, the calendar year beginning with or within such 12-month period.
3. Compensation is compensation within the meaning of section 415(c)(3).
4. Employers aggregated under sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) are treated as a single employer.
5. If the employer has made a top-paid group election, the top-paid group consists of the top 20% of employees
ranked on the basis of compensation received during the look-back year. For purposes of determining the number of
employees in the top-paid group, employees described in section 414(q)(5) and Q&A 9(b) of section 1.414(q)-1T of the
