Deferred Compensation Unit

As a County employee, you have an opportunity to enroll in the Deferred Compensation Plan.  Deferred Compensation is an additional retirement savings plan that offers a convenient, tax-advantaged way to save for your retirement.

There are three options within the Deferred Compensation Plan; the 457(b) Plan, the 457(b) PST Plan and the 401(a) Match Plan.  Each option is unique and serves its participants at their various stages of employment.

The Deferred Compensation Website will provide you with information about the Deferred Compensation Plan options throughout your investment career.

Below are benefits to participating in the Deferred Compensation Plan:

Convenience

You can sign up for Deferred Compensation by contacting Fidelity Investments at 1-800-343-0860 or www.fidelity.com/atwork. 

Your contributions are automatically deducted regularly from your paycheck. 

Tax savings now

Your pretax contributions are deducted from your pay before income taxes are taken.  This means you can actually lower the amount of current income taxes you pay each period. 

Investments options

You have the flexibility to select from investment options that range from more conservative to more aggressive, making it easy for you to develop a well-diversified investment portfolio.

Retirement planning tools

You have access to online tools designed to help you manage your assets as you plan for retirement.
