RETIREMENT PLANS
Planning for Retirement is important to all of us. Even if you are years away from retirement, it pays to start planning now. After one year of employment you will be eligible for the Tankstar USA, Inc. Profit Sharing and Employee Savings Plan. There are 2 Parts to this plan:
Profit Sharing:
Each year that the corporation makes a profit, a percentage of payroll is set aside for Profit Sharing. The higher the profits, the higher the profit sharing amount. The profit sharing money is then distributed to the accounts of eligible employees. In recent years, the profit sharing amount has varied from 3% to 8% of payroll.
401(k):
This is a voluntary plan in which a person can put up to 85% of earnings into savings, on a pre-tax basis. The company will match 10% of the first 5%. Contribution to a 401(k) will reduce your taxes, and the earnings grow tax-deferred. The percentage can be changed at any time.
Both profit sharing and 401(k) money is invested into an individual account with The Vanguard Group mutual funds. Each individual determines which of 15 mutual funds the money goes into. Funds can be changed at any time. This is an excellent retirement plan which can enable you to have a secure future.
