In the absence of a break-in-service (a departure of 5 or more years), Plan provisions stipulate that former Employees who have already met the Plan's Eligibility & Entry dates prior to their departure (or were already participating in the Plan) may rejoin the Plan immediately upon their return. Rehired Employees are no longer subject to the Plan's Eligibility & Entry provisions; their participation in the Plan is governed by the Plan's provisions on the allowable frequency to change salary deferral elections (i.e. how often you may change the percent or dollar amount of salary deduction elections.) Please refer to the Summary Plan Description for details. If however, an Employee did incur a break-in-service (a departure of 5 or more years), they are required to fulfill the Plan's Eligibility & Entry requirements once again.
