collapsed, click to expand | When can I enroll in the Plan? |
There is no waiting period. You are immediately eligible for this Plan and can enroll in the Plan at any time.
If you have not enrolled in the Plan within 35 days from your date of hire, you will be automatically enrolled in the Plan at a contribution rate of 6% of your pretax eligible compensation.
Based on your date of birth and assuming a retirement age of 65, you will be invested in the T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund Class I, with a corresponding target retirement date. 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 date of hire. You may change your contribution rate at any time online, or by calling the Fidelity Retirement Benefits Line at 1-800-343-0860.

collapsed, click to expand | What is the Roth contribution option? |
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 403(b) contribution and after you have attained age 59½, or become disabled or die. Through automatic payroll deduction, you may contribute between 1% and 85% of your eligible compensation as designated Roth contributions, up to the annual IRS dollar limits.

Your employer helps your retirement savings grow by matching your contributions.
Roper St. Francis Healthcare will match 50% of the first 6% of compensation that you defer to the Plan. This matching contribution will be made on a per payroll basis when you contribute to the Plan.
In addition, an employer discretionary contribution may be made on your behalf regardless if you do or do not contribute to the Plan. The employer discretionary contribution funds up to 2% of compensation on an annual basis, but it is at the discretion of RSFH based on system financial performance factors.
You are immediately eligible for the matching contributions but generally, you must be employed by RSFH on December 31, the last day of the Plan year, to be eligible for any employer discretionary contributions.
