401(k) Plans
A 401(k) plan helps your employees save for their future by giving them the opportunity to invest a portion of their paycheck into an employer-sponsored retirement account. Employees can select to invest either pre-tax or after-tax dollars into diversified investment lineup within their 401(k) portfolio. Many 401(k) plans offer employer matching, to entice employees to contribute a specific percentage of their paycheck into the plan in exchange for a matching investment from you, their employer.
