Pension Plan
Generally, full-time employees become participants first of the month following six months of service; part-time employees become participants first of the month following one year of service. No enrollment is necessary. You begin to accrue a benefit the first day of the following month.
Key features:
- Plan benefits are completely funded by PNC; you do not contribute.
- You automatically begin accruing a benefit after becoming eligible.
- The benefit you accrue is a quarterly earnings credit calculated as a percentage of your eligible compensation. The plan has a “cash balance” design, which means you accrue earnings credits and interest credits quarterly during the year.
- The benefit generally vests after three years of service.
- Minimum Earnings Credit: Effective Jan. 1, 2018, you will receive a minimum earnings credit of $2,000 each year, if you are a participant in the Plan for the full year and employed by PNC on the last business day of the year. (If you’re an active participant for less than a year, your minimum credit will be prorated for the partial year of participation.)
