401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
The 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan, administered by Vanguard, offers numerous investment options to assist employees in the planning of their personal retirement fund.
Regular full time employees are eligible to participate on the first of the month following their hire date. All other employees are eligible to participate upon completion of 1,000 hours in a consecutive 12 month period and are 18 years of age or older. The plan allows employee contributions up to 50% of pay on a pre-tax basis, limited to $20,500 per calendar year (or $27,000 if you are age 50 or older)
You may rollover money from a prior employer’s tax-qualified plan into the Jackson Family Wines 401(k) Plan
Three percent (3%) of your pre-tax pay is automatically contributed to the plan 30 days following your date of eligibility, unless you elect not to contribute. The 3% contribution is automatically invested in a Target Date Fund selected using your estimated retirement year based on your date of birth. If you would like to change or waive the automatic deduction or make elections regarding how you would like your contributions invested

To make things even easier, the plan offers automatic savings increases to help you set aside more money. Your savings rate will increase 1% every January until you reach 6%. (For employees hired during the last three months of the year, the increase will take effect in the following January.)
