Employee contributions reduce their salary but the money is available to the employee when they retire and, subject to some restrictions, there is no tax on any interest earned. In many cases, the employer will match employee contributions up to a specified level. Offering a 401(K) plan is a valued employee benefit that helps small business owners recruit and retain talented employees.
