Processing the Savings Minimum WED Report in HRS
Overview
The Savings Minimum Report is an error report created to identify Savings Plan enrollment with a per paycheck contribution below the minimum amount.Process Considerations:
- Employees can elect to enroll into the UW Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA) 403(b) plan before-tax or after-tax (Roth) at anytime by submitting a Salary Reduction Agreement.
- Employees are required to contribute a minimum amount based on their Benefit Primary Job pay frequency. The minimum per paycheck amount is $8. If an employee submits a Salary Reduction Agreement and the amount is below the minimum, Benefit Administrators will need to advise the employee about the minimum contribution amount and determine if they want to increase the election or stop contributions.
- Employees electing to stop all contributions to a Benefit Plan will need to submit a Salary Reduction Agreement. The Benefit Administrator will terminate enrollment by Adding Events to the BAS Activity Table in HRS and Enrolling, Changing, or Canceling Coverage Using On Demand Event Maintenance in HRS using an SAV event.
- Employees are able to make contribution changes at anytime through Self-Service once they are enrolled into the TSA pre-tax or Roth post-tax plan. There are Self-Service page edits that prevent employees from electing a contribution amount below the minimum. (Note: Any changes to contributions for Wisconsin Deferred Compensation (WDC) or WDC Roth plans must be made directly with Empower Retirement and cannot be made through the UW.)
