This one-year service requirement is waived in the event you have previously participated in CERS or one of the other Kentucky Public Pensions Authority (KPPA) programs (this rule applies for Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 members). The plan is funded by joint contributions made by MSD and the employee. First time enrolling plan members are required to contribute 6% of his/her gross salary through payroll deductions and MSD is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate. Both MSD and employee contributions are set by the legislature and are subject to state legislative changes. Vesting is achieved after 5 years of participation for Tier 3 members.

Employee savings plans (401(k)) and 457

MSD makes it easy for employees to plan for their retirement by offering a savings program that allows employees to accumulate savings through individual before-tax payroll contributions. MSD does not contribute any matching funds to either of the above plans. MSD’s financial involvement is assisting in the administration of both plans. Employees are eligible to participate in this plan from the first day of employment.

Mission Square Retirement (formerly ICMA-RC) and Kentucky Deferred Comp IRAs

Mission Square Retirement and the Kentucky Public Employees Deferred Compensation Authority both offer Traditional and Roth IRAs to MSD employees through individual payroll contributions.

Employees are eligible to participate in this plan from the first day of employment.

On each December 1, employees are granted seven (7) Personal Days for use for any reason during the 12-month period ending the next November 30. When used, employees must notify their supervisor in advance. Unused hours will be paid to you in December. New employees receive a prorated amount of Personal Days, after 30 days of employment, for the balance of the twelve (12) month period ending November 30. Upon termination, employees will either be paid for the excess personal days earned over those used or will owe MSD the excess of personal days used over personal days earned. (Personal days earned is determined by proration over a twelve (12) month period.)

Employees are eligible to participate in this plan 30 days after date of hire.
