How does automatic escalation work?

The default RetirePath Virginia savings rate is 5%. Employees can choose to save more, or less, at 1% increments. After an employee’s account is open more than 180 days, their savings rate will increase by 1% each January 1. The employee’s savings rate will increase each year until they're saving 10% of their total pay. Employees can opt out of auto escalation at any time.
