Marquette added the following enhancements to the retirement plans:
- Option to go online to change the amount of retirement contributions. Paper forms are no longer necessary.
- Current plan participants with fewer than than two years of service and newly enrolled employees will be set up with the plan’s new Auto Increase feature. Please note: Current participants already contributing 5 percent are not affected.
- New Auto Enroll feature begins for newly eligible employees. This is an important and valuable benefit that can help boost retirement savings.
The enhancements are intended to give faculty and staff more flexibility when making contributions to retirement accounts.
