Sage offers a 401(k) retirement savings plan, which is administered by Securian Financial.
Sage wants to be sure that you have the opportunity to save money and prepare for retirement. At Sage, we offer all associates, including part-time associates, the ability to participate in our 401(k) retirement savings plan through Securian Financial.
ELIGIBILITY
You are eligible to participate in the 401(k) retirement savings plan the first day of the month following 60 days of employment. You must be 20 years of age in order to participate in the 401(k) retirement savings plan.
ENROLLMENT
Enrollment in the Securian 401(k) plan can be done by going to securianretirementcenter.com or you can call Securian directly at 800-294-4015. If you are a first time user, you will need to register prior to entering. On the website, you can start/change/stop contributions, change investment options, initiate a loan or hardship withdrawal, and much more. All enrollments and changes are reflected in 1–2 pay periods.
COMPANY MATCH
Sage's current employer match is 50% for every 1% you contribute up to the first 3%. To maximize the company match, you should contribute at least 3% of your pay each pay period.
PRE-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS
All monies contributed to your 401(k) retirement savings plan are withheld from your paycheck before taxes are calculated on your gross earnings, lowering your taxable income. You can contribute between 1% and 90% of your salary on a pre-tax basis, up to the IRS annual maximum.* Any bonus payments are considered income and 401(k) contributions will come out of them. You can change your contribution amount at any time.
*The 2020 maximum is $19,000. If you are age 50 or over, you may contribute an additional $6,000.
VESTING
You are always 100% vested in your own contributions (including rollovers). When it comes to the company match, there is a vesting schedule based on your years of service, not the amount of time that you have been participating in the plan.
- 1 year = 20% of the match balance
- 2 years = 40% of the match balance
- 3 years = 60% of the match balance
- 4 years = 80% of the match balance
- 5 years = 100% of the match balance
ROLLOVERS
Rollovers can be done at any time, even if you are not yet able to start contributing to the plan. You just need to fill out the appropriate rollover form and get a check from your current provider. Please contact Securian Financial at 800-294-4015 or visit securianretirementcenter.com.
