This section describes eligibility and features of the Erbe USA, Incorporated 401(k) Plan.
Eligibility
Benefit-eligible employees who are 21 years of age are allowed to participate in the plan.
Employee Deferral Contributions
Eligible employees are allowed to defer a portion of their compensation to the Plan. These amounts are referred to as deferrals and are held in an account on the employee’s behalf. When employees are permitted to take a distribution from the Plan, they will be entitled to all deferral contributions, as adjusted for any gains or losses. The type of compensation that may be deferred under the Plan is explained in the section of the Summary Plan Description entitled "What compensation is used to determine my Plan benefits?" (this is in the Article entitled "COMPENSATION AND ACCOUNT BALANCE").
Total deferrals in any taxable year may not exceed a dollar limit which is set by law. The dollar limit may increase each year for cost-of-living adjustments. The Administrator will notify employees each year of the maximum deferral percentage.
Employees who are age 50 or will attain age 50 during a calendar year, may elect to defer additional amounts (called "catch-up contributions") to the Plan. These are additional amounts that employees may defer, up to an annual limit imposed by law, regardless of any other limits imposed by the Plan.
Employees may make either Regular 401(k) deferrals (pre-tax) or Roth 401(k) deferrals (after-tax). An employee’s election regarding the amount and type of deferrals is irrevocable with respect to any deferrals already withheld from the employee’s compensation. Regular 401(k) deferrals are not subject to income tax until distributed from the Plan. Roth 401(k) deferrals are subject to income tax at the time of deferral. The Roth 401(k) deferrals, however, are not taxed at the time of distribution from the Plan. In addition, if the distribution of Roth 401(k) deferrals is considered
