RTC may identify a base retirement contribution with a Calvert-labelled arrangement, as distinct from an additional or supplemental entry. The contribution can be employee-funded or employer-funded.
Employer-specific label: this is a possible interpretation. Confirm the full meaning in the codebook for the employer that issued your statement.
How to read this entry
Use the possible interpretation Base retirement contribution associated with Calvert alongside the column heading. An earnings amount, an employee deduction and an employer-cost memo can have different effects even when their labels look similar.
Example on a pay statement
An RTC amount in the employer column should not be subtracted from employee net pay just because a retirement amount also appears in deductions.
Examples illustrate the checking method. They are not a personal tax calculation or a promise of a particular benefit.
What to check with payroll
Confirm who pays this contribution and which plan definition of salary applies.
