Eligibility and enrollment
You are eligible to enroll in the Carlisle, LLC Employee Incentive Savings Plan (CEISP) as a full-time employee. Part-time employees are eligible if they are paid by Carlisle for 1,000 hours or more during the first full year of employment or for any calendar year.
If you don’t enroll or opt out within your initial eligibility period, you will be automatically enrolled at a 3% deferral election. You may change your contribution rate and investment elections at any time by visiting the Principal website or calling 800-547-7754.
Your Contributions
You may contribute between 1% and 50% of your eligible pay to your plan account, up to annual IRS limits, on a pretax or Roth basis. You may also contribute on an after-tax basis, but the total deferral percentage of pretax + Roth + after-tax cannot be more than 50%.
2024 contribution limits
- $23,000 if you’re under age 50
- $30,000 if you are age 50 or older this year (which includes an additional $7,500 in catch-up contributions)
These limits include your pretax contributions, Roth contributions, or a combination of both. You also have the option of contributing to the plan with after-tax money, up to 50% of your eligible pay.
Pretax vs. Roth: What’s the difference?
The Carlisle, LLC Employee Incentive Savings Plan (CEISP) gives you the flexibility to save for retirement with pretax contributions, Roth after-tax contributions, or both.
- With pretax contributions – the money goes into your account before taxes are deducted, so you keep more of your take-home pay.
- With Roth contributions – the money goes into your account after taxes are withheld, but both your contributions and any associated earnings can be withdrawn tax-free in retirement.*
*In order for Roth earnings to be withdrawn tax-free, you must be at least 59½ (or the withdrawal follows death or total disability), and at least five years must have elapsed since your first Roth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.
Boost your retirement income with HSA savings
If you’re enrolled in the Carlisle HSA with a Health Savings Account (HSA), you can invest the money in your HSA to build long-term savings for retirement! An HSA is a tax-free way to save money and maximize how much of your 401(k) or other retirement accounts can be used to support your lifestyle.
Vesting
Vesting is another way of saying “how much of the money is yours to keep if you leave the company.”
You are immediately 100% vested in your own contributions and the company’s contributions to your account (made on or after January 1, 2007), including any investment gains and losses on these contributions. This means you own all the money in your account right away.
Name a Beneficiary
It’s important to designate a beneficiary to receive the value of your Carlisle, LLC Employee Incentive Savings Plan (CEISP) account in the event you die before beginning to receive your benefit. As personal circumstances change, be sure to keep that information up to date. Visit the Principal website to add or change your beneficiary.
Withdrawals and Loans
The money in your account is a long-term investment to help you prepare for your financial needs in retirement. However, under certain circumstances, you may be able to access money from your account before reaching retirement age. For more information, visit the Principal website or call 800-547-7754.
Think before you act
- If you’re considering taking a withdrawal or loan from your plan account, be sure to think about the impact it may have on your future. Taking money from your account now may lead to a smaller savings balance when you retire.
- Not only are you taking money away from your retirement savings, but the burden of repaying the loan may make it harder to get back on track.
- If you take a loan, you’ll also lose more money to taxes because the interest payments on your loan are made with money that has already been taxed, and it will be taxed again when withdrawn from your account.
- If you withdraw pretax money from your plan account, in addition to paying current taxes on the money, you may have to pay an additional 10% penalty tax if you are younger than age 59½ (or, age 55 if you have retired or left the company).
