Retirement Savings

MPR offers two retirement plans to regular full-time employees including a Money Purchase Plan (MPP) and a 457.

The MPP is employer-funded with 10% of the employee’s salary contributed by MPR. No vesting schedule is necessary as 100% of the contributions are vested at the time of employment.

The 457 allows employees to contribute to their individual retirement accounts with the flexibility to invest based on their individual needs.
