This is the policy my company has in place.
quote:

is obligated, under the deferral matching provision of the plan, to match 25% of employee deferrals, up to 1.25% of the annual compensation of each participant

other places Ive work had it pretty straight forward-we match 5% or we match 3% of your salary.
the language is tripping me up a little bit, anyone care to put it in layman's terms.

They will match 25% of what you contribute, until their contribution reaches 1.25% of your annual salary.

So, to max out their match, you need to contribute 5%.

sounds like for every dollar you put in they match 25 cents and they only match up to 1.25% of your salary

so if you but in 5% of your salary, you max out getting a whopping 1.25% match...
