Use Mister’s 401(k) Benefit to Invest in Your Future
Perhaps you’ve never thought of “buying” your retirement. Yet, that is exactly what you do when you put money into a retirement nest egg! You are paying today for the cost of your retirement tomorrow. You are the architect of your financial future. For every pre-tax dollar you put into your 401(k) savings account, Mister will give you an additional $0.50 up to 3% of your salary.
Starting January 1, 2021, team members will now be eligible to participate in MCW’s retirement program at their 6-month anniversary.
- There will no longer be an hour’s requirement for eligibility
- We will be offering a traditional 401(k), and a Roth option

The table below can help you understand the differences between a traditional 401(k) and a Roth.
| Traditional | ROTH | |
| Contributions | Pretax, lowers taxable income* | After tax |
| Earnings | TAx deferred | Tax free |
| Withdrawals | Income tax due on all contributions and earnings (10% IRS penalty may apply before age 59 1/2) | No tax due on qualified withdrawals** |
| Required minimum distributions | Must begin after age 70 1/2 (unless you are still working). Effective January 1, 2020 the age increased from 70 1/2 to 72. If you were 70 1/2 prior to January 1, 2020 you are subject to the prior rules. | Can avoid with rollover to Roth IRA*** |
