Employees are eligible to participate in this plan from the first day of employment.

Mission Square Retirement and the Kentucky Public Employees Deferred Compensation Authority both offer Traditional and Roth IRAs to MSD employees through individual payroll contributions.

It may also be used to pay for care provided to an individual with a physical or mental handicap who is the employee’s dependent, regardless of age.

Employees are eligible to participate in this plan 60 days after date of hire.

Paid Parental Leave (PPL)
Paid Parental Leave of absence is offered to non-probationary, full time and part time employees who meet FMLA eligibility guidelines.
