Mortenson makes it easy and convenient to save for retirement. After 60 days team members are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan and begin taking advantage of the Mortenson $1 for $1 matching contributions up to 4%. 401(k) plans are provided through Fidelity Investments.
Benefit overview
Eligibility

Generous Company Matching Contribution
- Dollar for Dollar match up to 4% of your base pay.
Vesting

Investment options
- Target Date Funds are the default investment election, but several different investment options are available.
After 60 days of employment you will be eligible for the 401(k) plan, and will receive an automatic enrollment packet in the mail. You can register at Fidelity NetBenefits website or by calling 1-800-835-5095.
Reminder: after 90 days of employment, if you did not register, you will be automatically enrolled at 4% in your designated Target Date Fund. This means that 4% will be deducted from your paycheck after 90 days, if you do not take action.
401(k) contributions can be viewed or updated at any time.
