EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
OFG offers three profit-sharing plans, participation is according to the employment region; Puerto Rico, the United States mainland (the “US”) and the USVI (collectively, the “Plans”). The Puerto Rico employee plan contains a cash or deferred arrangement qualified under Sections 1081.01(a) and 1081.01(d) of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended, (the “PR Code”), and Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “US Code”). Under this plan, participants were permitted to contribute up to $20,000 in 2023.
The US and USVI profit-sharing plans provide a cash or deferred arrangement qualified under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “US Code”). Under these plans, participants were permitted to contribute up to $22,500 in 2023.
The Plans are subject to the provisions of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1976, as amended (“ERISA”) and cover all full-time employees of OFG who are 21 or older, and at least have three months of employment. OFG’s matching contribution is 50 cents for each dollar contributed by an employee, up to 8% of such employee’s base salary. Each Plan is invested in accordance with the employee’s decision among the available investment alternatives provided by the Plans. The Plans are entitled to acquire and hold qualifying employer securities as part of their investment of the trust assets pursuant to ERISA Section 407. OFG’s contribution becomes 100% vested once the employee completes three years of service. During 2023, 2022 and 2021, OFG contributed $2.7 million, $2.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in cash to the Plans.
Also, OFG offers to its senior management a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, whereby participants can defer taxable income. Both the employer and the employee have flexibility because non-qualified plans are generally not be subject to ERISA and the PR Code and the US Code contribution limits and discrimination tests in terms of who must be included in the plan. Under this plan, the employee’s current taxable income is reduced by the amount being deferred. Generally, funds deposited in a deferred compensation plan can accumulate without current income tax to the individual. Income taxes are due when the funds are withdrawn.
