Important!
In Plan Roth Conversion

If you are participating in after-tax contributions, once the funds are in your 401(k) account for the first time, call Fidelity at (800) 557-1900 to initiate the Roth conversion. Tell the Fidelity Operator you would like to be added to “Automatic Roth Conversions” and all After Tax deposits will be automatically converted to Roth in the future. You only have to do this once, but it’s incredibly important so that you don’t have unfavorable tax treatment on these contributions.

401(k) Automatic Deferral

If you don’t enroll and elect your deferral amounts within 30 days of hire you will automatically be enrolled at 5% pre-tax deferral.
