Generally, if you are a regular full-time or part-time employee and at least age 18, you are eligible to participate in the Iron Mountain 401(k) Plan. There is no waiting period for participation; however, you will be able to enroll as soon as administratively possible once you are eligible.
Temporary or casual employees and contractors are not eligible to participate. If you are ineligible and you later change to a group that is eligible to participate in the Iron Mountain 401(k) Plan, you will be immediately eligible to participate in the Plan, as long as you are at least 18. Any service time while you were not eligible will be credited.
collapsed, click to expand | When can I enroll in the Plan? |
You can enroll in the Iron Mountain 401(k) Plan at any time!
If you have not enrolled in the Plan within 35 days from becoming eligible, you will be automatically enrolled in the Plan at a Pre-tax contribution rate of 3% of your eligible earnings. This amount will automatically increase each year by 1%, up to a maximum of 15% of your eligible earnings.
If you do not make an investment election, you will be automatically invested in a T. Rowe Price target date fund based on your date of birth and assuming a retirement age of 65. Target date funds are an asset mix of stocks, bonds and other investments that automatically becomes more conservative as the fund approaches its target retirement date and beyond. Principal invested is not guaranteed.
We encourage you to take an active role in the Plan and to choose a contribution rate and investment options that are appropriate for you. If you do not wish to contribute to the Plan, you must change your contribution rate to 0% within the first 35 days of your eligibility.
You may change your contribution rate at any time through the Contribution section of NetBenefits®, or by calling the Fidelity Retirement Benefits Center at 800-835-5095.

A Roth contribution to your retirement savings plan allows you to make after-tax contributions and take any associated earnings completely tax free at retirement - as long as the distribution is a qualified one. A qualified distribution, in this case, is one that is taken at least five tax years after your first Roth 401(k) contribution and after you have attained age 59½, or become disabled or die. Through automatic payroll deduction, you can contribute between 0% and 75% of your eligible pay as designated Roth contributions, up to the annual IRS dollar limits.

collapsed, click to expand | What is a Roth In-Plan Conversion? |
Roth In-Plan Conversion options are available in the Iron Mountain 401(k) Plan. This option provides you with the opportunity to convert all, or a portion of your non-Roth assets to Roth assets.
Special tax rules apply to Roth In-Plan Conversion options and are an important consideration in determining whether to do such a conversion. Generally, the taxable amount of a conversion is determined as if the converted assets were distributed to you from the Plan, although the assets will only be transferred to the Roth portion of your account and no amount will actually be paid from the Plan. The taxable amount (determined as if actually distributed to you) is taxable to you in the year of the conversion and should be reported on your income tax return for that year. For more information related to the tax consequence of a conversion, you should consult your tax or financial advisor before undertaking such a conversion. You may contact the Fidelity Retirement Benefits Center at 800-835-5095 to process a Roth In-Plan Conversion.

collapsed, click to expand | Does Iron Mountain contribute to my account? |
In addition to your own contributions, Iron Mountain helps you prepare for retirement with matching 401(k) contributions. Iron Mountain matches 67 cents for each dollar you contribute, up to the first 6% of your eligible earnings each paycheck. If you contribute 6%, you’ll see 4% in employer matching contributions added to your retirement savings.
Iron Mountain will also perform a true-up calculation for eligible participants every year to make sure you receive the maximum company match contribution for the prior year. The match true-up calculation looks at your total annual contributions as a percentage of your total annual eligible earnings. If your total contributions qualify for any match that you didn’t receive on a per-pay period basis, Iron Mountain will add money to your account to make up the difference as long as you are actively employed on the last day of the plan year.

Vesting refers to a portion of the 401(k) account that you own. You vest, or own, all of the contributions made to your account immediately, including any matching contributions from Iron Mountain.
Any company match made prior to 2020 is subject to a vesting schedule. Review the Summary Plan Description for details.
