Retirement Savings Plan
What is it?
The Enterprise Rent-A-Car Retirement Savings Plan provides all eligible full-time and part-time employees with an easy way to save for their retirement. The Plan allows employee contributions, and provides a company matching contribution and an annual profit sharing contribution to all eligible employees. The Plan is intended to support you in your personal responsibility of saving for retirement. Together with personal savings and Social Security benefits, the savings you accumulate in the Enterprise Retirement Savings Plan will carry you a long way toward the retirement income you will need at the end of your working career with Enterprise.
Who can participate?
You will be eligible to participate in the Enterprise Retirement Savings Plan on the first day of the third month of continuous employment with Enterprise. You can contact Fidelity Investments to enroll any time after you have received your enrollment kit in the mail. However, employee contributions and the company matching contributions will not begin until after you become eligible to participate. By enrolling early, you will be set to begin contributions on the first pay period after you become eligible.
To learn more about the Enterprise Retirement Savings Plan and to begin your enrollment process, visit the Fidelity Web site at www.401k.com or call Fidelity at 1-800-835-5095.
Note: You are not eligible to participate in the Enterprise Rent-A-Car 401(k) Plan if you are a temporary employee, a J-1 employee, or an employee working outside the United States (except U.S. expats participating in the Home Country Compensation Program). Employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement are excluded from enrollment unless their bargaining agreement specifically provides for participation in the Plan.
Contributions to the Plan
Employee Contributions |
Eligible employees may contribute from 1 percent to 100 percent of their pay (in whole percentages) to the Plan. However, they cannot contribute more than the IRS maximum in any tax year (Jan. 1 through Dec. 31). The IRS maximum for 2008 is $15,500. When you enroll through Fidelity Investments, your contributions will be handled automatically through payroll deductions. Employees 50 years or older may make additional "catch-up contributions" up to the IRS maximum of $5,000 in 2008. |
|
Company Match |
Enterprise matches your contributions, dollar for dollar, up to 3 percent of your pay each pay period. |
Profit Sharing |
Each year, Enterprise determines if a discretionary contribution will be made to its employee retirement savings plans. While past contributions are not a guarantee of future contributions, historically Enterprise has contributed 5 percent of pretax profits to its employee retirement savings plans. The portion of the company contribution that is not used for the company match will be allocated to eligible employees via an annual profit sharing contribution. The amount allocated to individual accounts is based on a formula that takes into account each employee's eligible compensation. The profit sharing contribution is invested in the profit sharing fund which is managed by Commerce Trust. |
Why participate?
Employee contributions to the Plan are pretax, which means they are deducted from your pay before income taxes are calculated. Enterprise also matches your contributions to the Plan, adding to your savings for retirement. By saving in the Enterprise Retirement Savings Plan, you reduce the amount of tax that comes out of your pay, you receive a company match and you benefit from tax deferred investment growth.*
*Taxes are paid when money is withdrawn from the Plan. Please consult a tax adviser before taking a distribution.
Investment Options
You can choose between two investment strategies.
Option One — Choose a LifePath® Portfolio Strategy
Select a managed portfolio that automatically adjusts its mix over time based on its targeted retirement date. LifePath® Portfolios allow you to spend less time maintaining your investment allocation mix. The LifePath Portfolio you choose is constantly monitored and rebalanced by Barclays Global Fund Advisors (BGFA) in an effort to maximize returns for a given level of risk.
Option Two — Create Your Own Asset Allocation Strategy
Build and monitor your own investment strategy using a mix of mutual funds. Put together your own mix of investments by choosing individual funds based on your long-term objectives.
A complete description of the Plan's investment options and their performance, as well as planning tools to help you choose an appropriate mix, are available online at Fidelity's NetBenefits® Web site at www.401k.com.
