The 2017 SEBAC Agreement defined a new Tier 4 Pension Plan, which has both a traditional Defined Benefit (DB) component and a new Defined Contribution (DC) component. 

Each of these components include both employee and employer share deductions. Due to the delayed implementation of the Tier 4 Plan, Catch–Up deductions have been created to collect the missed contributions for both the employee and employer shares.
