BofA to Freeze Pension Fund
Bank of America will freeze its pension plans for
eligible employees, effective July 1, 2012.
Reported by Tara Cantore
According to news reports, employees will keep the pension benefits they have earned to date; however, workers will no longer accumulate new benefits into the fund.
The company is moving to a 401(k) retirement plan for most of its employees. The company currently matches contributions of eligible workers up to 5% in the 401(k) plan; however, starting on July 1, the company will start contributing funds into workers’ 401(k) plans, regardless of whether they contribute to the plan. The company will contribute 2% to 3% of a worker’s salary into the 401(k) plan.
