Freezing the Pension Plan means:
- On Aug. 1, your pension plan benefit will be frozen. It will not continue to grow (based on your years of service and final pay) as it did in the past.
- All your benefits currently in the Pension Plan remain there for your retirement.
- A cost-of-living allowance will be applied to your frozen benefit to help protect it from inflation.

- Most Gannett employees now receive a 50-cent match for every $1 (up to 6% of your pay). - This is a large improvement in the 401(k) match.
