The Airports Authority pays the entire cost of the General Plan. The Police and Firefighters Plan has a 1.5% pre-tax contribution by employees.
Retirement Savings Plan
The Retirement Savings Plan helps employees save for the future with two plans: a 457 Plan for employee contributions and a 401(a) Plan for Airport Authority matching contributions. You may contribute to the 457 Plan, up to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) annual limit through payroll deduction. If you save money in the 457 Plan, the Airports Authority will match up to 3% of your contributions. Matching contributions are deposited into the 401(a) Plan. Participants can invest the contributions, both their own contributions and the employer match, in a variety of investment options.
