Fidelity 401(k) Slideshow

Saving for retirement is easy when you participate in the 401(k) Retirement Plan.

How the 401(k) Retirement Plan Works

The IRS limits the maximum amount you can contribute to your 401(k). For 2024, that limit has been increased to $23,000 up through age 49, or $30,500 if age 50+. You can start, stop, or change your contribution amount once per pay period. 

Salem Health provides two types of contributions for enrolled participants:

  1. Matching contribution – qualify after one Year of Eligible Service and begin receiving contributions the first pay period after completing one Year of Eligible Service
  2. Experience contribution – for eligible participating employees (those who contribute 1% or more of salary), Salem Health will make an additional contribution based on your Years of Service in a benefit eligible position the pay period following that achievement.

Special rules apply if you have periods of broken service during your Year of Benefit Service.
