Pension Plan
For Employes
A new pension plan, guaranteed by
annuity contracts issued by an in-
surance company has been instituted
by Hany Kata. Inc . for the firm s
employee. J Bernstein, manager an-
nounced Wednesday
The ptaa. in combination wtth social
security, will give an emplove an in-
come to about JO percent of hie aver-
age annual income upon retirement
and te paid for entirely by tbe com-
pany. said Bernstein.
Tbe average income te baaed on
five-year averages until the employe
roaches tbe 50 to 55 bracket, which
is the last figured, because incomes
tend to decrease in later years and re-
tirement te to begin at 45
Any employe who has been with tbe
firm for two yean after institution of
tbe plan has a vested right” in his
annuity which will be paid as a lump
sum if he should resign bis position
"It seems totte to be a good thing
because it gives a worker something
to look forward to in tbe way to sav- i
lags, and it seems to please them.".
