Question

In addition to the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 encouraging small businesses to allow employees to enroll into a 401(k), what percentage of vesting begins immediately for the employee

Answer 1

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

401(k) plans are financial provisions that guarantee financial security after retirement. Prior to the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, these provisions were bogus and difficult to understand/comply with by businesses. The Act simplifies the requirements and allows employees to enroll in the 401(k) plans where the annual contributions testing is bypassed. Employees vest 100% of their salary. This means that they cannot forfeit all the money contributed. After retirement, they can benefit from their deferrals and profits.
