Treat yourself to some financial cheer

If you’re eligible for a holiday bonus this year, did you know that you can turn part of it into something that lasts well beyond this season? By saving a portion of your bonus in your 401(k) SMART Plan, you’re giving yourself a gift that keeps on giving for years to come.

Eligible associates can contribute up to 30% of their holiday bonus to the SMART Plan. To take advantage of this option, make your election by 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30.

Because your holiday bonus is paid separately from your regular paycheck, you can choose a bonus contribution amount that’s different from what you contribute each pay period.

Who can make a bonus contribution?

You’re eligible to save part of your holiday bonus if you

  • are enrolled in the 401(k) SMART Plan and
  • are actively contributing each pay period.

How do you make an election?

  • Visit the SMART Plan website using the link on PASSport.
  • Or call the information line at 1-888-401k-PLN (1-888-401-5756) by 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30.

When can eligible associates expect to receive their bonuses?

  • Associates paid weekly — Nov. 17
  • Associates paid monthly — Nov. 20
