Work Phone: (207) 518-5671
Cell: (207) 706-6259GMS recognizes the importance of saving for retirement and offers eligible employees a 401(k) plan through American Funds. After 90 days of full-time employment an employee becomes eligible to make elective deferrals to the 401(k) plan. For the purposes of this plan, you will have been considered full-time if you completed 520 hours of service within a 90-day period prior to open enrollment. Open enrollment occurs in October, January, April, and July.
For full-time employees who have been with GMS for at least one year, GMS offers a matching contribution equal to the employee’s elective deferral, up to 4% of the employee’s compensation for the calendar year. Elective deferral amount and fund allocations can be changed at any time once the account is established.
