Take advantage of new 457b Roth payroll contributions

UF employees, including part-time and OPS employees, are now able to participate in a 457b Roth payroll contribution option to save for retirement through the Florida Deferred Compensation Plan. These payroll contributions are made on a post-tax basis and give you more flexibility when it comes to meeting your retirement income goals and securing a financial future. Employees with a 457b pre-tax option may contribute to both accounts in the same year. 

Register for a Bureau of Deferred Compensation workshop and learn more about the 457b Pre-Tax and 457b Roth payroll contribution options.
