A pension plan requires contributions by the employer and may allow additional contributions by the employee. The employee contributions are deducted from wages. The employer may also match a portion of the worker's annual contributions up to a specific percentage or dollar amount.
A pension plan is an employee benefit that commits the employer to make regular contributions to a pool of money that is set aside in order to fund payments made to eligible employees after they retire.
Traditional pension plans have become increasingly rare in the U.S. private section. They have been largely replaced by retirement benefits that are less costly to employers, such as the 401(k) retirement savings plan.
