Supplemental Savings & Investment Plan
The Supplemental Savings & Investment Plan (Plan) is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that allows eligible employees to accrue benefits for the future and coordinates with the tax-qualified Marsh & McLennan Companies 401(k) Savings & Investment Plan.
Under the Plan, you may elect salary deferrals which are credited on the books of Marsh & McLennan Companies (Company). You can direct your future deferrals into any or all of the Plan's investment lineup. Company Credits are available after you complete one year of vesting service.
