Commission discusses Policy 631 on URS Roth 457(b) automatic enrollment; staff to allow employee choice
Summary
Human Resource Director Judy Stevenson presented Policy 631 (automatic enrollment & escalation in the URS Roth 457(b) plan) and the commission agreed employees should be given the choice to enroll or opt out rather than being forced into automatic enrollment.
Human Resource Director Judy Stevenson presented Policy 631 on automatic enrollment and escalation in the URS Roth 457(b) plan and the accompanying URS disclosure form at the June 29 meeting.
Director Judy Stevenson said she had worked with Deputy Attorney Grant Charles on the policy and that the intent is to avoid forcing employees to save through automatic enrollment. The discussion focused on ensuring employees are given a clear choice: allow them to enroll voluntarily or opt out rather than being automatically enrolled and having to log in later to opt out. Commissioners and counsel agreed that employees should have the option and that automatic enrollment forcing participation would not be appropriate.
The minutes record discussion and agreement on the employee-choice approach but do not document a formal vote or adoption of Policy 631; the commission recorded the discussion for further staff work and counsel review.
