Monday, November 20, 2006 PRE-TAX Program Section 125 - Enrollment Deadline December 15, 2006 Please check your mailbox for the memo distributed to all permanent employees regarding the upcoming deadline for enrolling in the Section 125 plan. The Section 125 plan year ends on December 31, 2006. Employees planning to continue participation or wishing to enroll will need to do so by December 15, 2006. The new plan year is effective January 1, 2007. Participation in the pre-tax FLEX plan is voluntary and the enrollment period is limited to once annually.

This can provide significant tax savings for both the employee and employer.
