403(b) Annual Plan Notice
Please see attachments and information below from TCG:
- As your 403(b) Plan Administrator, we’d like to make you aware of your eligibility to participate in your employer’s 403(b) retirement plan. The 403(b) plan (often called a “tax-sheltered annuity” or TSA) is a voluntary plan that allows you to defer a portion of your paycheck to a savings plan. This is a benefit offered by your employer to help you bridge your retirement income gap and lower your taxes. Please continue reading for details on how to enroll and how easy it is to start saving now.
Employee Newsletters
All of the prior Employee Newsletters are now located on the District Website on both the Human Resources and Payroll page. We hope this will help our employees easily find answers to their questions. As always, our payroll staff is available to help answer any questions you have as well.
