Description

After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue.

FOR HOURLY PAID EMPLOYEES Over a y'ear ago, when the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees was announced, a number of Hourly Paid Employees at Champion's mills ex~ pressed to Management a des1re for a retirement plan of their own. 1 . As a result, the General Industrial Relations Of- · fice immediately began an intensive program of re­search and analysis of the various tyes of plans avail­able. At least eight different plans we1·e carefully studied and at the conclusion of this work it was de­cided by Champion's Management that an insured plan would most thoroughly safeguard the rights and benefits of its members. Because of thirty years of satisfactory relations with the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, it was decided that they would- be the best organization . to handle Champion's Retirement Income Plan for Hourly Paid Employees. The plan as adopted for hourly paid employees is identical to that of the salaried employees except for the method of determining earnings and the ef· fective dates involved. The fundamental difference between the methods used to coi-npute pay for Hourly Paicl Employees as compared to Salaried Employee , makes this neces 'ary. The specific details of the .Hourly P aid Plan are given in the pamphlet which each eligible Hourly Paid Employee will be given soon. If you are an Hourly Paid Employee and have attained age 30, but not age 65, and have completed at least 5 years' service with Champion, you will be eligible to become a member of the Retirement In­come Plan for Hourly Paid Employees. In view of the fact that employees over age 65 cannot be included in the Retirement Income Plan for Hourly Paid Employees, their individual cases will be handled in an equitable manner consistent with their age, years of service and income. This Plan has been adopted by our Company to further round out its policy of security for its employees throu,gh insurance programs. Champion employees now have available Group Hospitalization and Surgical Benefits, either Accident and Health I n­sunance or Mutual Aid, and Group Life Insurance. The retirement Income Plan for Hourly Paid Employees is designed to give employees a monthly income which, when added to Social Security Benefits, will enable them to enjoy , their retirement in comfort and security. Champion feels that comfort and security for its loyal employees with long service is of the utmost importance. This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that the compani}"'s t:otal liability for past s.E!rvice for those hourly paid employees who are eligible is $2,750,0{)0. In other words the cost of past service is entirely borne by the Company. Past service, roughly defined, is that service completed prior to the effective date of this Plan, In addition, Champion pays toward future service for each employee at ~n overall ratio of about 1 112 to 1. In other words, for each $1.00 contributed by the average Hnurly Paid Empleyee toward his future service annuity, Champion contributes about $1.50. The company's porti:on of future service payments will amount to approximately $223,000 per year. Future service, roughly defined, is that serv ice completed after the effec'tive date of this Plan. . Every Hourly Paid Employee should realize at this time that in order for this Plan to become effective it will be necessary for 75o/o of the eligible Hourly Paid Employees to ,become members of the Plan and that Champion's stockholders approve this Plan at t heir annual meeting this October. · · Each Hourly Paid Employee should also understand that due to future economic and. business conditions' being U;rtJ?redictable, the Company mu t reserve the right to discontinue either the past service benefits or the future service benefits, or both. Cha-m­p ion hopes and expects to conti"nue the plan indefinitely and only conditions of extreme emergency will change this hope and ex­pecta tion. H the Plan is di.scontin1,1ed, the Company cannot withdraw al'ly col'ltributions it has made. I:n such event. the m:ember, whether or no·t he remains in the employ of the Company and provided he does not withdraw his contributions, will recetve the Retirement Income commencing at normal r·etirement date that has been provided fgr him by his own contributions as well as those of the Company .
