Savings Plan
The Savings Program offers a convenient, tax-effective way to save and invest for the future. At retirement, Savings Program benefits are designed to work together with the Pension Plan and Social Security benefits to provide retirement income.

Highlights

The Savings Program …

… Makes Savings Easy
You may save from 2.5% up to 60% of your eligible earnings on a before-tax and/or after-tax basis each year through convenient payroll deductions subject to certain other limits.  Persons above a certain compensation amount are called "highly compensated employees" and can only contribute up to 16% of eligible earnings, subject to certain other limits.

… Offers Matching Contributions to Increase Your Savings
When you contribute to the Savings Program, the Company makes a matching contribution based upon every dollar you save up to 6% of your eligible earnings.

… Lets You Save Tax-Deferred
Your before-tax contributions, Company matching contributions and investment earnings are tax-deferred, which means you will not pay federal income taxes on these amounts until you take the money out of the Savings Program.

… Gives You the Opportunity to Invest in Your Future
You can invest your savings and Company matching contributions in the investment funds made available under the Savings Program.

… Provides 24-Hour Access to Account Information
The Savings Program information line offers up-to-date information about your account 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and our Internet access provides the same convenience.

… Allows You Flexibility Today
Although the objective of the Savings Program is to help you save for the future, you have the flexibility to meet short-term needs through loan and withdrawal provisions.
