A Message from HR: Prioritize Your Physical & Financial Well-Being

Posted on March 28, 2024 by Division Compass

While you’re taking some well-deserved time away from your work over Spring Break, we encourage you to prioritize something equally important: your physical and financial well-being. Take advantage of the downtime and schedule an annual physical (Check out our BeWell Bucks campaign articles!) AND review your retirement savings strategies (Don’t have one? NOW is a great time to start!) with one of our Lincoln 403b, Nationwide 457, or Hybrid Plan/Commonwealth of Virginia 457 plan representatives. (Contact information is available on our Retirement Savings web page.) Take time to take care of YOU: Future YOU will thank you!

Also, remember: This week’s pay is the third payroll in March. The only deductions taken from a third payroll in a month are taxes, mandatory deductions like child support and garnishments, and payments for amounts owed. Normal deductions will resume in the April 12 pay. Please keep this in mind as you review your pay stub in the ADP Employee Portal.

Nationwide Deferred Compensation Plan: Schedule a Virtual Consultation April 1-5

Posted on March 25, 2024 by Division Compass

The sooner you start planning for retirement, the easier it can be. If you wait, it could take much more per pay period to achieve the same goal. Let’s get started! Schedule a free 30-minute virtual consultation with one of our Nationwide consultants to learn more about Albemarle County’s 457(b) deferred compensation plan. Through a 457(b) plan, you can contribute to your account each pay period; invest that money so it can potentially grow into a lot more; and use tools to monitor your account and make adjustments as needed.

Appointments are set aside for ACPS employees next week, April 1-5! To schedule, scan the QR code in the flyer below or visit https://bit.ly/ACVA457. Continue reading →
