There are many reasons why your company may employ part-time workers, such as meeting seasonal workflow demands or retaining employees who no longer work full-time.

An attractive benefit plan can play a fundamental role in recruiting and retaining qualified staff. And, when trying to save for the future, a 401(k) retirement savings plan can help employees attain their retirement objectives on a tax-advantaged basis. Named for the section of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) that created it, a 401(k) plan may be one of the most popular and valuable fringe benefits available.

Nowadays, individuals change jobs many times throughout their working lives.

If you are starting a new phase in your career, you are probably carefully considering how you will handle your finances while making the transition. One important aspect is your retirement plan funds. If you have accumulated savings in a 401(k), 403(b), or similar employer-sponsored retirement account, you need to decide how to manage those funds upon leaving your current position.

During the last decade, the popularity of 401(k) plans has been astounding. Over 90% of the Fortune 500 companies offer these salary reduction plans to employees.

Unbeknownst to many investors, companies have the option of offering their employees a new different type of tax-advantaged retirement plan: the Roth 401(k).

Curious if this option might apply to you? Reach out to one of our advisors today.
