Changing your company's 401(k) plan (5)

If all else fails, invest elsewhere
Company retirement plans are a great benefit, but they are not an employee's only choice for retirement savings. Depending on your situation, a traditional or Roth IRA might offer you more flexibility and cheaper fees.

Some employers might even let participants -- particularly those over age 59½ -- do an in-service rollover from their company 401(k) into an IRA.

Before you make any changes, however, consider getting advice from a personal finance professional who is familiar with your financial situation. There could be a number of restrictions that affect where and when you can invest money.

If a company's employees aren't happy about their 401(k) plan options, the company has an incentive to change them. If you speak up about ways to improve your employer's 401(k) today, you and your colleagues' retirement portfolios could be worth substantially more money in the future.

Changing your company's 401(k) plan (4)

Offer to help the plan administrator
As you communicate concerns to your company's management, offer to help find a solution. Some firms have

401(k) committees that include rank-and-file employees who evaluate plan alternatives. Volunteer to be on one.

Be willing to dedicate the time and effort, because the end result could be a much-improved company retirement plan.

Even if you are successful in presenting your concerns and convincing your employer to make changes to the company 401(k), realize that it could take several months before you would be able to actually invest in the new options.

"It's very expensive to move a plan around. When you go in to change it, everything stops," says Melody Juge, founder of 401(k) Choice in Westlake Village, Calif.

"Everyone has to fill out new papers, and there's usually a blackout period where no changes can be made. This is a very time-intensive project -- especially for a small business. It's not something that should be done lightly."

Stephen says his willingness to help communicate the reasons behind his company's switch was extremely important to the success of the process.

"Our company was relatively small, and I made sure that our fellow employees knew about the upcoming change long before it was announced," he says. "I also explained the reason for the move -- the high costs that each of the employees was paying from his or her savings -- long before any formal announcement came out of HR (human resources). This is only something that you can do in a small company, I suppose, but for us it worked very well."

Stephen believes that the switch has also helped employees become more serious about their retirement planning.

"Generally speaking, folks were very receptive to the news," he says. "In fact, because of all the noise and training that was associated with the move, a few employees that did not contribute to the old plan decided to join the new plan after it was launched."

Changing your company's 401(k) plan (3)

Get support from co-workers
Once you have identified ways to improve the company 401(k) plan, find fellow colleagues who have the same concerns.

No one wants to be known as the lone chronic complainer at their job, so make sure your co-workers are involved and support your efforts.

"Talk to some of your fellow employees and say, 'Gee, have you ever looked at this plan and seen how much we're paying out in fees?'" suggests Tony Schuman, managing director of Corporate Financial Advisors in Dallas. "This is really critical, because it can affect your life for years."

If you aren't able to save enough money, you might not be able to retire when you'd like. Any problem with the plan that isn't addressed now could depress everyone's individual portfolios in the future.

Include your boss in these conversations. He or she is probably putting money into a 401(k) that would also reap benefits if the plan were improved. Having your boss' support can also reduce the chance that you'd be written off as a lone complainer.

At some point, you will need to approach the person who can actually change the plan -- typically, someone in the human resources department.

Don't forget that your company also wants to retain the best workers. If the investment choices in the 401(k) plan are disappointing and not attractive to employees, human resources has an incentive to make changes.

Unfortunately, too many employees chicken out before they get this far.

"I think there is an intimidation factor," Solin says. "I understand that as an employee, you take a risk when you write that letter to the human resources department. But I also believe that the only way to affect change is to speak up."

Changing your company's 401(k) plan (2)

Here are four actions you can take if you don't like the options offered by your workplace 401(k) plan.

4 actions if your 401(k) is flawed
1. Learn about your options
2. Get support from co-workers
3. Offer to help the plan administrator
4. If all else fails, invest elsewhere

Learn about your options
First, educate yourself about your company plan. Know what it offers, and how the benefits compare to other 401(k) plans at other companies.

If you don't have a lot of experience with investing, it can be difficult to make choices about your own 401(k) -- let alone figuring out if the entire company plan needs an overhaul. But it can be done.

Read a few articles and books about investments. Then, start talking to other people -- inside and outside of your company -- who have 401(k) plans. Find out what they like and dislike about their benefits.

Your company isn't required to offer every investment feature that's out there, but there are some options that are more attractive than others.

Changing your company's 401(k) plan (1)

WO years ago, "Stephen" feel that the company's 401 (k) plan is "sad".

"(He) offered a choice of funds problematic unseen and cost structure," said Stephen.

Initially, Stephen did not mention that concern to anyone. However, he finally raised the issue to the company's director of human resources when asked for input on other issues.

Stephen gives some suggestions for improvements, such as offers several options and find the funds more low-cost investment.

To Stephen's surprise, the director of human resources asked to join the company's 401 (k) plan committee to evaluate current and alternative view. Stephen received.

"We evaluated five different service providers," he said, before choosing a new company to manage the company's plans.

If you work for a company that provides a 401 (k) plan, consider yourself lucky. You have access to tax-advantaged retirement account that can help you build a large nest egg for the future.

However, there are things you can do if you do not like your choice in 401 (k).

Under the laws of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act 1974, or ERISA, 401 (k) plan sponsors must meet a minimum standard of conduct for employees handling the case 'money.

This includes working for the interests of plan participants (and beneficiaries) and offers a diversified investment options.

"Plan sponsors have a fiduciary obligation to ensure that there are alternatives to employees," said Gil Mateer, President of Retirement Services Group at Bryn Mawr Trust Company in Bryn Mawr, Pa.

In addition to their fiduciary duties, private plan sponsors have many options for when they come to determine the actual investment that will go into the plan.

German Financial Crisis Prediction Held Until the End of 2009

Germany predict the financial crisis that the world will now take place until the end of 2009. For years, Germany must set the cost for the rescue program.

"Risk collaps (fall) is still far from over. But it will be a mistake if a warning or alarm removed," said Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck in discussion with Sonntag such as the Weekly This AFP on Saturday (25/10/2008).

Germany has issued a crisis rescue package worth 480 billion euros, or U.S. $ 610 billion that was approved last week to help banks until next year.

"And we will ensure that the needs for and how long time," he said.

"We do not know if this cost saving, including the cost of rill in the years 2010 and 2013," he added.

Financial crisis adds pressure to keep working

An 82-year-old real estate agent with severe arthritis and two artificial hips thought she would be retired by now, while a professor 25 years her junior wonders if he will ever stop working.

With stock portfolios shrinking in recent weeks, and house values sinking over the past year, many older Americans still on the job say they see no end in sight.

A majority of Americans have long said they expect to work past retirement age and now, with the financial crisis, their numbers are bound to grow, experts say.

Even before the crisis, 70 percent of older workers surveyed last year planned to work into their retirement years, research released this week by the AARP lobbying and advocacy group for older Americans showed. A need for money was the most common reason they cited.

"There's a lot of reasons for people to be less secure in retirement than they were 20 years ago or even 20 days ago," said Richard Johnson, researcher at the Urban Institute in Washington.

"This is a long-term change that we're seeing and of course it's really been magnified in the past month," he said.

While no up-to-the-minute data is available to show just how many more older workers will be staying on the job, there's little doubt more will make that decision, said Deborah Russell, director of work-force issues at AARP.

"With people's knee-jerk reaction in looking at both the economy and looking at their own finances, working longer may be the only way to get themselves to remain financially secure," she said.

he consequences for the workplace may be significant as more people stick around longer, experts say. One concern is older workers may be more costly in terms of salary and benefits, they say.

GRAY CEILING

Another effect is the so-called gray ceiling, where older people are not leaving and ceding top jobs to younger workers, Johnson said.

"A lot of younger people are waiting for those good jobs," he said. "To the extent that older people are not giving up those jobs, that's going to cause problems."

For older workers such as the elderly real estate agent, being unable to retire is a poignant disappointment. And it's one she does not want her neighbors in New Canaan, Connecticut, to know about, so she did not want her name used.

"I believed I had a good amount of security. Now I have a nominal amount of security," said the widow. "The added problem that my generation has is that we can't wait for a recovery. I may not be here when the recovery comes."

In Boone, North Carolina, Mike Dotson, 57, said he can barely imagine retiring, thanks to his shrinking investments on top of years paying college tuition for his son.

So, he said, it's a good thing he likes his job as a professor of marketing at Appalachian State University where he has been for 25 years.

"My rule has always been, as long as it feels good, you keep doing it," he said.

Staying on the job is the one thing people can do in the light of the financial chaos, said Alicia Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.

"Control what you can control. We can't do much about the craziness in the market, but you certainly can control, in many cases, how long you're going to work," she said. "That is actually the most potent way of improving your situation."

"We thought that was the right answer even before the financial crisis," she added. "Everything has just intensified since then."

Older workers should make clear to their employers that they want to keep working, she advised. "Don't look like a person who is just reading Florida brochures." reported by reuters
