This retirement plan includes an automatic contribution arrangement that applies to all eligible participants. If you are a new participant, you will be automatically enrolled in the retirement plan, meaning 3% of your pay will be deducted from paychecks and contributed to the retirement plan on your behalf unless you elect a different salary deferral percentage.”

You are eligible to participate in the plan if you have completed at least 60 days of service with the company.

You may elect to defer a percentage of your pay each period. Your current taxable income is reduced by the amount you contribute through pre-tax salary deferral. This lets you reduce your current federal and most state income taxes. This plan allows you to defer from 1% to 100% of your pay.

You may also elect to defer a percentage of your pay each pay period as Roth Deferrals, which are after-tax contributions.

You can contribute money to the Roth 401(K) plan using after-tax dollars. Unlike earnings on traditional contributions, qualified distributions from your Roth 401(k) contributions will not be subject to income tax at retirement.

The IRS has a combined limit on your 401(K) + Roth 401(K) of $20,500 (+ $6,500 catch up if age 50 or older) as of 2022.

This retirement plan includes a Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement (QACA) that applies to all eligible participants.
 

You will be automatically enrolled in the retirement plan, meaning 3% of your pay will be deducted from paychecks and contributed to the retirement plan on your behalf unless you elect a different salary deferral percentage.

If you are a rehired participant who did not have automatic salary deferral contributions for an entire plan year, then you will be automatically enrolled in the retirement plan at the same percentage as new participants indicated above. Otherwise, you will be re-enrolled in the retirement plan at the automatic salary deferral percentage that would have applied had you always been automatically enrolled in the retirement plan.

The retirement plan also includes an automatic salary deferral increase provision. Salary deferral contributions for automatically enrolled participants will automatically be increased by 1% every April 1st up to 6%.

If you do not wish to be automatically enrolled, you may elect not to defer or to defer another percentage. You can enter into an agreement to change your salary deferral contribution on any date. You will need to complete and sign the salary deferral agreement or complete an election online before the date on which it is effective. Once an agreement is in effect, salary deferrals will be payroll deducted from your future paychecks. You can terminate your agreement at any time.

IRS regulations limits the annual amount of your salary deferral contributions.

Notes:

  • To get started, participants will log in to their Principal account and select PCRA option.

  • Once they complete the application, they will set up a Schwab username and password.  If they already have a Schwab username from outside accounts, that can be used for this account.

  • Once established, the participant will need to initiate the fund transfer via the Principal site. They can transfer up to 50% of their balance- calculated one-time at the time of transfer.

  • Trades are placed through Schwab.

  • The fee to use the PCRA is $100/year- collected in installments of $25 each quarter.
