2. Eligibility  Help

Employees 


Can join the Plan on:

their date of hire: [Immediate]
the first day of the month following their date of hire: [Monthly]
the first day of Jan, Apr, Jul or Oct following their date of hire: [Quarterly]
the first day of the month following 1 month of employment: [1 Month]
the first day of the month following 2 months of employment: [2 Month]
the first day of the month following 3 months of employment: [3 Month]
the first day of the month following 6 months of employment: [6 Month]
the first day of the month following 1 Year of Service: [1 Year - Monthly Entry]
the first day of Jan, Apr, Jul or Oct following 1 Year of Service: [1 Year - Quarterly Entry]
the first day of Jan or Jul following 1 Year of Service: [1 Year - Semiannual Entry]

Selecting "1 Year" with "Monthly," "Quarterly" or "Semiannual" entry requires employees to work at least 1,000 hours to receive credit for a "Year of Service." The other service rules above allow employees to join regardless of the number of hours worked in the waiting period.

3. Contributions  Help

3a. Employees can contribute up to $11,000 per calendar year subject to IRS percentage of pay limits.

3b. The Employer will match of pay the employee contributes.

(For example, if the formula is "50% of the first 6% of pay," an employee who contributes 10% of pay will receive a 3% match from the employer for a combined employee-employer contribution of 13% of pay.)

4. Vesting  Help

4a. Employee contributions are always 100% "vested" (i.e., owned by the employee). However, employer contribution accounts vest according to one of the following vesting schedules:

0

1

3
Years

Immediate 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100%
25% per year 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% 100% 100%
20% per year 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 100%
"2/20" 0% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%
3-year cliff 0% 0% 0% 100% 100% 100% 100%

4b. Years of Service prior to the start of this Plan be counted for calculating vesting.

5. Loans  Help

Participants be allowed to borrow up to $50,000 (but not more than ½ of their vested account balance) and repay the loan by payroll deductions over not more than five years.
