HR Update
Did you know that just 1% extra per paycheck can lead to thousands (or tens or hundreds of thousands) more dollars to help you enjoy retirement? For example, if you’re 28 years old and make $50,000 per year, adding 1% of your salary (less than $10 a week) to your retirement savings could add more than $160,000 to your nest egg when you retire.*
Use this Fidelity tool to see what a 1% increase could do for you, and sign up for a plan or modify your contributions here.
Fidelity is also offering free webinars in June to help you plan how to maximize your savings between your primary University plan (either the Faculty Retirement Plan or the MSRS pension plan) and your voluntary plan options (the Optional Retirement Plan and the 457 Deferred Compensation Plan). Each webinar earns 200 Wellbeing Points.
