The University offers several different types of retirement plans, which vary depending on job classification and collective bargaining agreements. For a brief description of the plan for which you may be eligible, please view the appropriate employee category listed below. Employees and faculty members should contact the Benefits Office in the Human Resources Department for information regarding their eligibility.
All employees paid on the University payroll system may voluntarily elect to make pre-tax contributions to a tax deferred 403(b) account. There are several investment options from which to choose. The maximum amount an employee may contribute in any calendar year is limited by IRS regulations (please refer to 2013 IRS Calendar Year Limits).
Employees electing to make tax deferred 403(b) contributions for the first time should contact the Benefits Office at Retirement@temple.edu or call 215-926-2281.
