Hendrix College provides all employees the opportunity to use a salary deduction to put funds into their 403(b) retirement account on a pre-tax or an after-tax Roth basis which is administered by TIAA-CREF. Any employee may
contribute up to the maximum allowed by the IRS ($23,000 in 2024; if over age
50 the limit is $30,500) into a Supplemental Retirement Account (SRA).
Full-time employees are eligible to receive contributions from Hendrix College after two years of full-time service with Hendrix College (or based on credit for years of service in higher education).
For all payments received after your second year anniversary, Hendrix will
begin contributing 2.25% of your base salary and will match your contribution up to another 2.25% in the Retirement Account (RA). Therefore, if you are contributing at least 2.25%, Hendrix contributes 2.25% and matches your 2.25%. For all payments received after your six year anniversary, Hendrix will
contribute 5% of your base salary with no requirement for you to
contribute. You may continue to contribute more than is required to receive the match, or after the match is no longer available, but all such contributions must be made to your SRA account and the total you put into your 403b (RA & SRA combined) must remain under the legal maximums outlined above.
