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.

Eligible employees can also enroll in flexible spending accounts for both medical and dependents. They have immediate access to the full amount selected while paying back that amount with pre-tax payroll deductions over the following year.
