The DC plan requires an employee pretax irrevocable contribution of 1%-5% (Exempts employees contribute 5%). The employer pays the DB portion and matches the employees DC contribution. (Maximum employer match is capped at 10% for both the DB & DC. DB is always funded first). Employee contributions are 100% vested.
