Deferred Compensation
Deferred Compensation is a long-term savings program. It can be a way for employees to provide for a supplementary retirement income or a bridge to the next job. Investments are made with before-tax dollars through voluntary salary deferral until retirement or earlier termination of employment, death, or hardship. In addition, the earnings on these deferrals will compound free of current taxes. Deferred Compensation is a way for state employees to have part of the money they would have paid in income taxes working for their future.
