35. Deferred Compensation Plan- Automatic Enrollment for New Employees

In DSA 2021-2026
Tagged DSA, MOU

Subject to applicable federal regulations, the County agrees to provide a deferred compensation plan that allows employees to defer compensation on a pre-tax basis through payroll deduction. Effective January 1, 2016, each new employee will be automatically enrolled in the County’s Deferred Compensation program, at the rate of one percent (1%) of their pre-tax wages, unless they choose to opt out or to voluntarily change deferrals to greater than or less than the default one percent (>1%) as allowed in the plan or as allowed by law. The pre-tax deduction will be invested in the target fund associated with the employees’ date of birth. All deferrals are fully vested at the time of deferrals; there will be no waiting periods for vesting rights. Escalation for new employees will be the same as existing employees, as described below.

Effective the first full pay period following Board of Supervisors’ approval of this MOU in 2022, all employees will be enrolled in the deferred compensation program at the rate of one percent (1%) of their pre-tax wages, unless they choose to opt out or to voluntarily change deferrals to greater than or less than the default one percent (>1%) as allowed in the plan or as allowed by law. The pre-tax deduction will be invested in the target fund associated with the employees’ date of birth. All deferrals are fully vested at the time of deferrals; there will be no waiting periods for vesting rights.

Concurrent with Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) the deferrals will be increased in one percent (1%) increments to a maximum of five percent (5%).

The County will provide training to employees regarding how to make voluntary changes to deferrals.
