how to opt out of the 401k ..?

[pkg handler]

I know it may sound silly but as of now they are taking out 50.00 per check and I really could use that money as I already have it in a 3.5% savings acct. so it accumulates a good amount of interest anyway. I know the company matches it but I'm not so sure how long I really will be here ( how many yrs) . So my question is how can I stop them from taking the 401k withdrawals from my check every week now ..? Just get the 25 out and thats it .. any help ..I tried asking hr but they seemed way too busy when i was leaving today

Call the plan administrator and change your deduction.1-800-537-0189

If you were given a pin number you can change your contributions/investments at anytime using the teamster 401k website.
( https://teamsterups.csplans.com/csportal/welcome.do ) I don't think the company matches do they?

A company match on a 401k is free money and is a perk we don't enjoy as hourlies. If you are able to, setting your contribution % to the % that the company matches would basically double your contribution to your 401k. Invest in funds that don't subject you to the wild ups and downs that the stock market has been and will continue to experience (up 936 yesterday, down 773 today) and you can deduct the amount that you have deducted from your pay from you gross income for income tax purposes. You mentioned that you don't know how long you will be here. The good news is that you should be able to roll this 401k in to the 401k at your next employer either directly or through an IRA.

15%n of what ive paid into it this year.....ummm the 50 is lost and you should have been cashed out of your sick/vacation time when you left the union.

as to what Upstate wrote, my boss told me never leave ANY money on the table, they want to to pay for school? go to school they want to contribute 3% to 401k? put in your 3% so you can get their 3 %

I would think that you should be able to get that sick day. Talk to your center manager.

he definitely should be able to, took me some biting and clawing but I eventually got my payouts (2 sick days, 3 optionals and 1 week vaca). They initially paid the vaca out wrong (supposed to be 1/52 your gross of the prior year) and that took another 3 weeks to get fixed, but eventually I got all that I was owed...keep on them about it or they'll sweep it under the rug.

yea it seems like thats what are trying to do.. just keep putting it off as much as possible it seems. The reason I dont really want to use the 401k right this second maybe by the beginning of the next yr is that with the new setup especially ( with being paid weekly now ) we won't be earning as much money i suppose. It another week to be taxed and all they are throwing extra in is the christmas bonus which is a regular check split into 52 other checks ... which comes out to like 15.00 extra a week ..

we're going to be earning the same amount (if not more)?

yea they said maybe somewhat more .. like nothing substantial.. more is better anyway i guess.. but also heard they are taking away any premium time too so any time you work over 5.5 its not reflected on your check its basically not going to be added on .. i usually get around 3 hrs premium each check too..so that sucks

im on vaca so i havent heard anymore, but mnzepher put a post up yesterday about the details that said wed be payed salary on the 27.5 hrs then anything after wouldnt be 1.1 but there would be some sort of increase....sooo idk lol
