401(k) 403(b), Pension Plans

What Are 401(k), 403(b), and Pension Plans?

Employer-sponsored retirement plans—like 401(k), 403(b), and traditional pension plans—are essential tools for helping employees build long-term financial security. These plans allow workers to contribute a portion of their income toward retirement on a tax-advantaged basis, while also giving employers the opportunity to match contributions and reduce taxable income.

401(k) Plans are common in the private sector, offering pre-tax (and sometimes Roth) savings options.

403(b) Plans are typically used by public schools, non-profits, and religious organizations.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans provide guaranteed income in retirement, though they are less common today and require more actuarial and compliance oversight.

Properly structured and maintained, these plans can become a core part of your company’s compensation strategy—offering real value to your team while reinforcing your commitment to their long-term success.

Planning for Retirement

Why Employer Retirement Plans Matter

Offering a retirement plan is more than a financial obligation—it is a strategic advantage in a competitive labor market like Northern New Jersey. Here is why these plans are so impactful:

Boost Employee Retention and Satisfaction

When employees feel supported in planning for their future, morale rises. Offering a retirement plan shows your team that you are invested in their long-term well-being.

Tax Benefits for Employers and Employees

Contributions to retirement plans are generally tax-deductible for employers, and employees benefit from tax-deferred or tax-free growth (depending on the plan structure).

Attract Top Talent

Competitive retirement benefits are a major consideration for professionals evaluating job offers. A well-managed 401(k) or pension plan can set your company apart.

Demonstrate a Culture of Financial Wellness

More companies are investing in the financial literacy and empowerment of their teams. Retirement plans—and the education that comes with them—signal leadership and care.
