WSP USA makes it easy to save!
Your contributions and the applicable company match are calculated each pay period and deposited to your account by WSP USA. All you have to do is make contribution elections through T. Rowe Price.

You get company match.
WSP USA matches 50 cents for every dollar you contribute on up to 6% of your eligible pay each pay period to help your savings grow faster. The maximum matching Company contribution employees can receive is 3% of eligible compensation.

Enjoy tax savings now.
If you choose to make pre-tax contributions, you'll pay less in income taxes from your paycheck and your 401(k) account grows without being taxed until you withdraw it.

Take Advantage of a wide range of investment options
You can utilize core investments monitored regularly by WSP USA as well as a self-directed brokerage account option that allows you to select your own investments.

Eligiblity and How to Enroll

If you are a regular full-time or regular part-time employee, you are eligible to participate in the WSP USA Retirement Savings Plan. Temporary employees, interns, and union employees are not eligible for participation.

Newly eligible employees have approximately 60 days to actively enroll or opt out of participation before being automatically enrolled in the WSP USA Retirement Savings Plan. If auto-enrolled, you will be defaulted to a 5% pre-tax contribution with an investment election best aligned to your retirement age of 65. You have the right to opt out of automatic enrollment or elect to begin contributing sooner or at a different rate.

Your Contributions

You may elect to contribute between 1% and 50% of your annual compensation on a pre-tax and/or post-tax (Roth) basis, up to annual IRS limits. If you are 50 or older this year, you may also elect an additional flat dollar catch up contribution on a pre-tax and/or post-tax (Roth) basis.

You may change your 401(k) contributions at any time by visiting the T. Rowe Price website or calling 1-800-922-9945. New and updated contribution elections take 1-2 pay cycles to appear in your check.

2024 contribution limits

  • $23,000 in regular contributions, based on your 1%-50% election.
  • $7,500 in additional catch-up contributions, if you are age 50 or older this year and elect catch up contributions.

These limits include your pre-tax contributions, Roth post-tax contributions or a combination of both. Match contributions made by WSP USA are not considered toward IRS contribution limits.

Your contributions through WSP USA payroll are monitored to ensure you do not exceed annual IRS limits – WSP USA will stop your contributions once limits are met and restart your elected contribution automatically the following year. However, if you recently joined WSP USA, and contributed to another company’s plan within the same year, you must monitor your total annual contributions to ensure you do not exceed limits. Contact T. Rowe Price at 1-800-922-9945 if you were contributing to multiple plans and exceeded the annual limit.

Before-tax vs. Roth post-tax: What’s the difference?

The WSP USA Retirement Savings Plan gives you the flexibility to save for retirement with pre-tax contributions, Roth post-tax contributions or both.

  • With Before-tax contributions – the money goes into your account before taxes are deducted, until withdrawn.
  • With Roth post-tax contributions – the money goes into your account after taxes are withheld, so both your contributions and any associated earnings can be withdrawn tax-free in retirement.*

*In order for Roth earnings to be withdrawn tax-free, you must be at least 59½ (or the withdrawal follows death or total disability), and at least five years must have elapsed since your first Roth contribution.

Catch up!

If you’ll be 50 or older this year, take advantage of the opportunity to contribute up to an additional $7,500 in catch-up contributions. Reminder – catch up contributions are a separate election and run simultaneously with your regular contribution %. Also, catch up contributions are not matched by WSP USA, so be sure to maximize your WSP USA match by contributing enough in your regular contributions to get the full match.

Company Match Contributions

WSP USA helps you reach your retirement goals faster by making matching contributions to your account. WSP USA matches 50 cents for every dollar you contribute on up to 6% of your eligible compensation* each pay. The maximum Company matching contribution employees can receive in a year is 3% of total eligible compensation*.

Here’s how the company match works:

Company match: For every $1.00 you contribute, the company contributes $0.50 and $1.50 goes into your account! (up to 6% of your pay).

Reminder, catch up contributions are not matched by WSP USA, so be sure to maximize your WSP USA match by contributing enough in your regular contributions to get the full match.

Annual Match True-Up

WSP USA wants to ensure you have the flexibility to contribute throughout the year in a way that supports your savings strategy. For example, you may elect to accelerate contributions early in the year, join the plan later in the year, or stop and re-start your contributions throughout the year – regardless of how you contribute WSP USA ensures you receive the full company match. After the end of each year, WSP USA reviews your overall annual contribution, eligible compensation*, and match contributed – if more match is due to you, WSP makes a “true-up” match contribution. Match true ups are generally made to accounts in late March.

*Generally, includes all compensation except for commissions, relocation bonuses, gross ups, reimbursements, payments, and benefits that are excluded from taxable income. Eligible compensation is subject to the compensation limits set annually by the IRS.

Don’t say no to free money!

Contribute at least 6% to take full advantage of the match — otherwise, you’re leaving free money on the table. Log in to your T. Rowe Price account to increase your contribution rate.

Vesting

Vesting refers to how much of WSP USA's matching contributions you own if you leave the Company.

You are 100% vested in WSP USA's matching contributions after completing 3 years of service. If you leave WSP USA prior to attaining 3 years of service, your match will be forfeited.

If you joined WSP USA as part of an acquisition, your service with the acquired company counts towards your service for WSP vesting.

You are always 100% vested in your own contributions, including any investment gains and losses on the money.

  • Consolidate retirement accounts by rolling in plan assets from a previous employer
