Retirement
We provide employees the opportunity to have a financially secure retirement, with programs that differ depending on date of hire and whether they are management or craft professionals. These include a combined pension and 401(k) for management employees hired prior to 2018, an enhanced 401(k) for management employees hired after 2017, and a 401(k) for craft professionals. Additionally, both management and craft professionals enjoy Railroad Retirement Board benefits – worth up to 1.5 times more than Social Security. While it functions similarly to Social Security, Union Pacific contributes an additional ~13.1% on behalf of employees versus what employers pay into Social Security, which helps fund RRB’s higher benefit levels.
