Salary Deferral Limits

Employees may contribute up to 90% of all wages paid by BTHR BeneTemps to the Plan on a pre-tax basis. Statutory contribution limits set by the IRS are as follows:

Limits include both traditional and ROTH contributions combined.

Roth 401(k) Feature

A Roth 401(k) allows you to designate all or part of your elective deferrals on an after-tax basis. If certain conditions are met, your contributions and earnings are entirely free from federal income tax when you withdraw them from the plan. Read more about the Roth 401(k) option.

Fees

Administrative Fees
Administrative fees for the 401(k) Plan will be paid by all plan participants based on the ratio of each participant’s account balance to the total account balances of all participants. This fee will be shown as a separate line item on quarterly participant statements.

For example, based on historical charges and our plan’s total assets, this has resulted in a monthly charge of approximately $1.33 per $10,000 of account balance. So, if your account balance is $50,000 your monthly fee will be approximately $6.65, while it would be $.67 per month if your balance is $5,000. Annualized this is a cost of less than .2% (2/10s of 1%) of your account balance. We will let you know of any changes that may occur over time.

The fees below will be charged to participants by ADP at the time the transaction occurs. These fees are deducted directly from participant’s account balance.

• Loan Processing Fee:  $125
• Withdrawal Fee:   $55

Investment Related Fees
The U.S. Department of Labor requires 401(k) plans to disclose certain plan fees and investment-related information. This Participant Disclosure regulation is designed to make it easier for participants in the plan to understand and review fees and expenses associated with your retirement plan account.

• Fee Disclosure Statement

To learn more about the Participant Fee Disclosure regulations, ADP has developed a number of useful tools that are available via the ADP Retirement Plan portal at https://workforcenow.adp.com.

Participant Quarterly Statements

The ADP default is to provide access to your quarterly participant statement online via the website at https://workforcenow.adp.com. If you want a paper copy of your statement mailed to you, then you must make this selection at Quarterly Statements under the My Account tab on the ADP Retirement Plan web page.
