EARLHAM
COLLEGE PENSION PLAN
All full-time employees are automatically enrolled
in the Earlham College Pension Plan upon completion of two consecutive
(2) years of full-time service. Each employee must complete an application
upon enrollment into the pension plan, so as to designate his/her
beneficiary and indicate which investment options are desired.
Upon completion of two (2) consecutive years of full-time
service, Earlham will begin contributing an amount equal to 5% of
gross pay to the pension plan on the employee's behalf. Upon completion
of three (3) consecutive years of full-time service, Earlham will
increase its contribution level to an amount equal to 10% of gross
pay. Contributions are made monthly by Earlham and are calculated
on the gross pay, excluding supplementary pay, during the previous
month and are immediately vested at 100%.
A summary plan description explaining the plan in detail
is available upon request from the Earlham Business Office. Quarterly
reports are issued by the pension plan company to each participant
in the plan.
Tax Deferred Annuities
Employees may make voluntary contributions to a tax
deferred annuity program. This type of program is similar to but separate
from the pension plan. For more information, contact the Business
Office. |
