On June 1st, 2008, in spite of robust earnings, a healthy balance

years, FedEx Express froze its non union employees pension plan. It
replaced the plan with a 401k contribution (up to 3.5% of gross pay if
you qualify), and a variable contribution Portable Pension Plan plan
that has its interest earning rate capped at the 30 year Treasury Bill
rate, which for 2008 hovered between 4.32% and 4.66%. Click the more

We, as FedEx Express employees, have lived and enjoyed working for a
company that had historically utilized the PSP Philosophy. Take care
of your people, and your people will take care of you. This was a good
idea and worked well for FedEx as the company established and developed
itself in a new industry.
