Procedures

  1. Employees may elect to make retirement plan contributions via payroll deduction up to the prescribed annual or fiscal year maximums
  2. All contributions to a 401(k), 403(b), SIMPLE plans, and SARSEP are aggregated and subject to a calendar year maximum
  3. A 457(b) plan has a separate limit that includes both employee and employer contributions
  4. Human Resource Services maintains the retirement deduction setups in myUFL (which automatically suspend the employee deductions when these maximums are reached.).  They also monitor compliance with all retirement-related contribution limits
  5. Additional contribution amounts and catch-up provisions are available for qualifying employees based on age and/or years of UF service.  Employees must contact their investment provider company for information regarding these provisions and qualifying criteria
