• Fidelity Retirement Plans- PG offers two retirement plans: the 403(b) and 457(b). 

  • • • • 403(b)- All employees are automatically enrolled in the 403(b). Only the employer (PG) contributes to this account. PG contributes a core 3% contribution into the 403(b) on behalf of employees. Employees are vested in the 403(b) plan after 3 years of employment. Learn more about the 403(b) plan here. 

        • 457(b)-  PG also offers a voluntary 457(b) retirement account. If employees choose to contribute at least 4% into the 457(b), PG will match that contribution up to 4%. Those funds are deposited into the 403(b) for a total potential contribution of 7% from PG. Employees are immediately vested in the 457(b). Learn more about the 457(b) plan here. Employees who wish to enroll in the 457(b) should email pghr@purdueglobal.edu.
