About the 401(k) Plan

A 401(k) plan is a retirement savings plan that allows an employee to defer a portion of your salary into a long-term investment account. Contributions can be made on a pre- or post-tax (Roth) basis. You will receive a company match on both pre- and post-tax contributions. All company match contributions will be deposited on a pre-tax basis.

401(k) Safe Harbor Match

Sunrun provides a 401(k) match of up to 3.5% if you contribute 6% or more in total between the pre-tax and post-tax (Roth) deferral options. See the below chart for a breakdown of the contributions.

Enrollment & Contributions

New hires will be automatically enrolled at a four percent deferral rate on the first of the month following 60 days of service. This rate will increase automatically by two percent every year on April 1 until you reach a 10 percent deferral rate.

To enroll, visit empowermyretirement.com. You can change your contribution percentage anytime by logging into empowermyretirement.com. You may contribute between one and 90 percent of your compensation. In addition, you can withdraw your contribution up to 90 days after your first automatic deferral.

If you do not want to participate in the Sunrun 401(k) plan, you must log into your Empower account and reduce your contribution rate to zero.
