Associate Savings and Retirement Plan
This 401(k) Plan gives you the opportunity to save a portion of your income in a tax-sheltered savings account. You will receive an enrollment kit from Wells Fargo after 90 days of employment and reaching age 20. If you have not already enrolled after you complete one year of service with at least 1000 hours, you will be automatically enrolled at a deferral rate of 2% (this is the time when company matching can begin). You then have the option to cancel this enrollment, or defer more or less. The company's contribution and matching program add dollars to your account. Income taxes on the contributions are deferred until withdrawn in later years. This lowers your current tax liability.
