Flexible Spending Accounts
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a plan that allows you to budget and save pre-tax dollars through payroll deductions to pay for qualified expenses (as defined by the IRS) for the incurred plan year. Contributions to an FSA are tax-free.
The Health Care FSA covers eligible out-of-pocket healthcare expenses such as medical copays, coinsurance, prescription drugs, dental and vision costs. It's available to you and any eligible dependents including spouse, children and any other person who is a qualified IRS dependent. MAPMG allows you to rollover up to $680 of unused 2026 funds to the new year (2027). Unused funds over the rollover allowance will be forfeited. For 2026, the contribution maximum for the Health Care FSA will be $3,300 (per individual).
Use your Dependent Care FSA to pay for eligible dependent expenses such as care for a child so you and/or your spouse can work, look for work, or attend school full time. You can contribute up to $5,000, or $2,500 if you are married and filing separately. Any unused funds for the plan year will be forfeited.
Transit & Parking
Another great way to save money through tax-free spending is MAPMG's commuter benefits program. You can use pre-tax dollars to pay for your mass transit expenses as well as for parking at a mass transit lot (e.g. Metro, Marc, VRE). The monthly transit or parking costs must be related to your work commute. It's easy and flexible. The 2026 monthly limits for the Transit Plan and the Parking Plan are $340 respectively.
NOTE: For the Transit and/or Parking plans you may enroll, revoke, or change your election at any time throughout the year.

401(k) Retirement Plan
Plan now for the life you'll want in retirement. MAPMGs 401k plan offers several contribution options and provides an employer contribution.
- Pre-tax and/or Roth (after-tax) contribution options up to the annual IRS limit
- After-tax contribution option up to a set limit which allows you to contribute above the IRS limit
MAPMG will automatically begin to contribute 5% of your bi-weekly gross wages to your 401(k) account after you’ve completed 2 years of service. You will immediately be 100% vested in MAPMG’s contributions as soon as they begin.
Excess Contribution Plan
MAPMG’s contributions to the 401(k) Plan are limited by the IRS. However, the Excess Contribution Plan provides you with a lump sum taxable benefit made at the end of the year equal to 5% of your base and incentive pay that exceeded the IRS limit for that year.
2026 Contributions Limits:
- The maximum for Pretax/Roth for under age 50: $24,500
- The maximum for Pretax/Roth for age 50+: $32,500
- The maximum for the After-Tax plan: $20,000
Pension Plan
MAPMG provides a very generous pension plan to staff. There are two types of service that affect the Pension Plan:
Vesting Service: time counted to determine if you are eligible for the Pension Plan benefit. To be eligible to receive Pension Plan benefits, you must have at least 5 years of Vesting Service. You earn a year of Vesting Service for each calendar year that you work 1,000 hours. Vesting Service is prorated when a full year is not worked.
Credited Service: time counted to determine the amount of retirement income. You earn a year of Credited Service for each year that you work 2,000 hours. Credited Service is prorated for partially worked calendar years as well as for part time benefits-eligible staff.
In addition to Credited Service, your Highest Average Compensation (HAC) is used in the benefit calculation. HAC is the average monthly base compensation for the highest 36 consecutive months of the last 120 months as a benefits-eligible staff, up to the annual IRS limit.
The formula to determine the Pension Plan benefit is: 1.5% of HAC x years of Credited Service
Supplemental Retirement Plan: The Supplemental Retirement Plan is a non-qualified plan that provides a lump sum taxable benefit to vested staff upon separation from service for accrued pension plan benefits in excess of IRS HAC compensation limits.
Post-Retirement Medical & Life Insurance
Staff retiring at age 65 or older with at least 10 or more years of vesting service are eligible for post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits. Staff retiring between ages 60-64 with at least 20 years of vesting service are eligible for immediate post-retirement life insurance in addition to health care insurance benefits starting at age 65.

Time Away from Work
MAPMG time off isn’t in the form of one lump sum like many companies use for time away from work. We believe you should have time off for vacation, when you are sick, and to celebrate the holidays.

Staff accrue 9 days of sick leave each year. Hours/accruals are prorated based on full-time eligibility (FTE). Sick leave may be used for yourself, an ill spouse/domestic partner, an ill child or for doctors and dentists appointments - providing you the flexibility to use sick leave as needed.
Staff accrue 3 days of personal leave each year. Hours/accruals are prorated based on full-time eligibility (FTE).
