Retirement plans can vary drastically for each individual. In order to help you get ready for your retirement goals, your employer has established voluntary 403(b) and 457(b) plans that allow all eligible employees to participate through payroll reductions. Contributions are subject to IRS limitations and are calculated and deducted before taxes, and your contribution is sent to the investment provider of your choice on your behalf. All you have to do to participate is complete a Salary Reduction Agreement for your employer and a few enrollment documents with the investment provider company to open your account with them directly.
