Information About 401K Retirement Plan

Your Employer is sponsoring this Plan so that you may save for retirement. As a Participant under the Plan, you may elect to reduce your compensation by a specific percentage or dollar amount and have that amount contributed to the Plan on a pre-tax basis.

Your employer will match 100% for the first 3% of your contribution and 50% after that up to 5% contribution.

For example:

– 1% contribution from your payroll will be matched with 1% by employer

– 2% contribution from your payroll will be matched with 2% by employer

– 3% contribution from your payroll will be matched with 3% by employer

– 4% contribution from your payroll will be matched with 3.5% by employer

– 5% and up contribution from your payroll will be matched with 4% by employer

 

You are always 100% vested – which means that you are entitled to all of the amounts.

 

You may become a “Participant” in the Plan once you have satisfied the eligibility requirements:

– one year of employment

– reached your “Entry Date” (January 1st or July 1st)

 

You will be able to direct the investment of your entire interest in the Plan.

  • Select Beneficiaries
  • Contribution Election: This step allows you to enter the amount you wish to contribute per pay period either as a percentage or a flat dollar amount. There is also a paycheck calculator included so that you can analyze the impact of any contribution level on your take home pay. If you have made contributions to another employer’s retirement plan, please enter that information on this screen.

If you choose to not select investments at this time, any contributions made will be invested in the Default Investment Alternatives (Target Retirement Funds).

Those funds designed for investors planning to retire and leave the workforce in or within a few years of the target year. For example: for participant who was born on 1980 with retirement at 65 years old, the Vanguard Target Fund 2045 (year of retirement) will be automatically chosen.
