Benefits Handbook

When you enroll, you can elect to contribute, on an after-tax basis, from 1% up to 15% (in 1% increments) of eligible base pay per pay period.

Once you enroll in the Plan, contributions begin in the October 15 paycheck of the plan year for regular employees. If you are classified as a temporary employee, your contributions will begin with the first weekly paycheck after the end of the Annual Enrollment period.

Yes. Your payroll deductions are held by Marsh McLennan and earn an annual interest rate of 2% per year; the interest is compounded based on your pay frequency. As long as you receive eligible pay, your interest is compounded semi-monthly if you are regular employee; your interest is compounded weekly if you are classified as a temporary employee.

Check your pay-stub. In the "SPP Plan Year to Date" section, the amount listed is your total contribution amount (including interest accrued) since the beginning of the current quarterly purchase period. Your per-paycheck deduction appears in the "After-tax Deductions" section on your pay-stub.

Yes. You can withdraw from participation in the Plan and receive a refund of your contributions and any interest accrued for any reason up until the payroll processing date of the last payroll of the quarter (generally eight business days prior to the final pay date of the quarter). The balance of your payroll deduction amount will be returned in the next available pay cycle, and your participation in the Plan will cease for the current plan year. You may enroll in the next plan year if you remain eligible.

If you choose to participate in the Plan, you have to contribute at least 1% of eligible base pay per pay period.

You can contribute up to 15% of eligible base pay per pay period during the plan year, up to the Internal Revenue Code limit.

If you reach the maximum share limit in any calendar quarter, the balance you accumulated (contributions and interest accrued) that exceeded the amount actually needed to purchase shares will be refunded to you in the next available pay cycle following the purchase date.

Your contributions to the Plan, and interest thereon, will cease on the last day of the calendar quarter in which you reach the maximum share limit. Once you reach the maximum share limit, you will not be able to participate in any purchases remaining in the plan year. Your contributions will automatically resume at the start of the new plan year, if you remain eligible and do not otherwise withdraw from participation in an offering.

If your goal is to maximize the number of purchases made during the plan year rather than have calendar quarters during which no purchases are made because you had reached the Internal Revenue Code limit, you may wish to adjust your contribution percentage so that your contributions are level throughout the plan year.

You may increase or decrease your base pay contribution rate twice during the plan year. Your change affects future base pay contributions only. No retroactive contribution rate changes are allowed.

Your change will be effective in the next available pay cycle.

To change your contribution rate, go to Colleague Connect (https://mmcglobal.sharepoint.com/sites/Home). Go to Pay & Benefits, click My Pay & Benefits and select Fidelity Net Benefits under Savings & Financial Planning.
