VPP Benefit Guide 2026-2027

401(K) Saving with VPP's 401(k) Plan VPP makes it easy to build retirement savings through convenient payroll deductions, with both pre-tax and Roth (after-tax) contribution options available. Eligibility Full-time and Part-time employees become eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the first pay period of a calendar quarter (January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1) following 90 days of service. Example: If your start date is January 20, your 90th day falls on April 20—just past the April 1 entry date. In that case, you'd become eligible on the next quarterly entry date: July 1. Automatic Enrollment New hires are automatically enrolled at a 3% pre-tax contribution rate. You're free to adjust this at any time by
