However, use of a comprehensive retirement plan can be used as a potential personal financing plan after the end of the job.
A pension or retirement plan is an employee benefit plan that’s maintained by the employer. According to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, it is the fiduciary responsibilities of the employer to offer retirement plans to employees under related rules and regulations. ERISA is working to protect the benefit plan to all beneficiaries and participants.
An individual can get all information and guidelines about retirement plans from “Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation”. It also offers the Pension search directory that guides people. They can also select a suitable retirement plan for their old age.
By taking useful guidelines from these institutes, an individual can get help from the Employee Benefits Security Administration.
Types of retirement plans
There are different types of retirement plans that can be selected according to job type and designation. These plans are: Defined benefit plan (traditional pension plan) and the 401 (k) plan etc.
A defined benefit plan offers monthly benefits in an exact amount. These monthly benefits have calculated on the basis of traditional factors including salary during services.
In general, it takes 1% of the average salary at the time of retirement and considered salary range during the last 5 years during the time period of employment.
Under this plan, the employer or employee does an annual contribution to the retirement fund (for example 5% of earnings). Then the employee gets this amount at the time of retirement. This contribution could be made under a different plan that can change investment losses or gains.
On the other hand, the 401 (k) plan is a type of deferred arrangement. Under this agreement, an employee can be selected to defer/receive some portion of salaries as the individual contribution of every employee. This agreement works under rules and operating policies of 401.
A Cash Balance Plan is also a type of contribution plan where the employee pays compensation of 5% annually to the employer’s account and contributed cash balance is used to offer retirement benefit after employment ends.
Some other plans can also be used for a retirement plan. However, selection of retirement plan is an effective way to get financial protection in old age after employment and you can live a tension free life from financial aspects. With these plans, a person who retired from a job can start a new life with his/her family and can live independent lives. Health coverage and other benefits allow living a stress-free life.
