Policy

Adelphi University provides employees with the opportunity to participate in a defined contribution retirement plan established under section 403(b) of the IRS Code.

Eligibility and Participation

All University employees are eligible to participate in the Plan except for the following excluded groups:

• non-resident aliens who receive no U.S. source income from Adelphi
• Leased employees
• Students who are excludable under U.S. regulations; and
• Independent Contractors

If you are an eligible employee, you may begin to participate in the Plan by making Voluntary Contributions on the first day of the first calendar month following your date of hire or appointment.

All full-time non-union employees are required to contribute a portion of their eligible compensation to the Plan after completing two years of service (known as “Mandatory Contributions”). (See Summary Plan Document for details regarding bridging service). Additionally, effective January 1, 2014, part-time non-union employees who are classified as academic or administrative executives by Adelphi are also required to make Mandatory Contributions to the Plan after completing two years of service.

If you are required to make Mandatory Contributions, these contributions will start automatically with the first payroll period commencing on or after the first day of the calendar month coinciding with or next following your completion of two year of service or you have eligible service with a previous employer (see Summary Plan Document for details regarding bridging service).

如果你是受大学与工会集体谈判协议保护的雇员(“工会雇员”)和或兼职雇员(上文所述的学术或行政主管除外)，你不受该计划的强制性供款要求的约束。

The University provides generous employer contributions. The schedules below show the minimum amounts that are required to be contributed and the amount that Adelphi contributes after completing two years of service.
