Sorta. Mine contributes a certain percentage of your salary, regardless of whether or not you contribute.

Yes, to an extent. They match 1/2 of employee contributions up to 6%.

Nope. It's a small, independently-owned newspaper, and they literally can't afford to do a match.

@Mrs. Jacks: that's a great employer contrib!

Yes, they match at 100% up to 8% of my salary.

Yes, they match 100% up to 4% of my salary. It used to be 6%, but they cut it down a few years ago.

@hellobeeboston: I love the idea of an increase to go along with longevity at the company. A reason to stay.

Yep - 7.5% of our salary I think?

This is the first company I've worked at that doesn't have a match. We're a startup (well, post-startup, I guess). We have amazing health coverage though. And I got a nice raise last year and am able to max out my own 401(k) contributions. So, it works out.

My husband's company matches. He works for a major corporation.

Yes. They used to match 50% of our contribution up to 5% (so 2.5% of our salary) but our company changed to an ESOP so they cut it in half (25% of 5% = 1.25% of salary) and contribute to the ESOP fund.
I'm thankful they do something, but I'm jealous of the amounts on this thread!

We get 7% regardless of whether we contribute.

We get 25% of our contributions upto 10% of our salary. But we also have a vesting schedule that allows you only 25% of the match for each year until you hit 4 years (100%). So if you leave after only one year it really only works out to a 6% match. Not that great IMO. My last job had a better match. But still better than nothing!
