It is never too early to plan for retirement!

As an employee of NCHC, you would be eligible for the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS), which is among the best funded and best managed public pension systems in the country.

The WRS is a hybrid defined benefit plan. It contains elements of both a 401(k) or defined contribution plan and a defined benefit plan. The WRS is a strong public pension plan because of its stable funding, unique plan design and robust governance. These factors set the WRS apart from the vast majority of other plans in the United States. With some $142 billion in assets, it is the 8th largest U.S. public pension fund.

Participating staff contribute 6.9% and NCHC will match this at 100% each pay period!
