BENEFITS
Retirement Savings
Burlingame Industries is dedicated to your success at work and committed to helping you to achieve your retirement goals. With
that in mind, as of January 1, 2017 our Profit Sharing Retirement Plan was modified, to add the AFTER TAX deferral savings option
called ROTH 401(k), and to lower the eligibility requirement age to 18 years of age instead of 21. By making these modifications to
the plan, it will continue to help you accumulate the assets you will need for retirement. For more details on these revisions, please
refer to the Summary of Material Modification handout recently distributed, or contact Human Resources.
As an eligible employee, you are eligible to participate in the plan and will be automatically enrolled the first day of the month
following 30 days of successful service.
Profit Sharing
Each year, Burlingame Industries decides whether to make a profit sharing contribution. Your share of contribution is based on
your pay compared to the pay of all plan participants. These contributions grow tax-deferred. You receive profit sharing
contributions, if you work at least 1,000 hours in a plan year and remain employed on the last day of the plan year. Participants
who retire, die or become disabled during the plan year also receive profit sharing contributions.
Charles Schwab | 401(k) Retirement Plan
The 401(k) Retirement Plan is voluntary, and allows you to contribute toward your retirement on a pre-tax or after-tax basis
through payroll deductions. Burlingame Industries will match your contributions with $0.60 per $1.00 contributed, on the first 5%
of your gross annual pay.
Catch-up: If you reach age 50 or are over age 50 in 2017, you can make additional pre-tax “or catch up” contributions above and
beyond the normal plan & legal limits.
