The Annuity Plan is a profit sharing plan, a type of defined contribution pension plan available to employees of signatory employers with Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 219. A defined contribution pension plan is a specialized type of tax-deferred retirement savings account to which Employers contribute on behalf of their employees. The amount of retirement benefits available depends entirely on the amount of contributions made over the years and investment earnings, if any, less operating expenses. The Annuity Plan is administered by John Hancock Retirement Plan Services.
