Financial Wellness (Retirement) |
Our retirement benefits are structured to help you meet your retirement goals. EBCE provides two retirement accounts for employees, a 401a and 457b. Starting on day one, EBCE contributes 8% of your payroll to your 401a in lieu of social security, regardless of any individual contribution you make. This means you do not pay any social security taxes, and we contribute to your retirement on your behalf. Additionally, EBCE will also match up to 6% of your 457b contribution beginning after 90 days of employment.
