<prompt> Human: My contributions for 401k are deducted from my paycheck and I get the net amount. However, the amount deducted from the paycheck is traded in the market almost 2 weeks after and only then appear in 401k account. At the moment, I have no idea where or why my contribution sits somewhere else and not invested for that 2 week period. This is not something I have seen in my paychecks from other companies.Is this somehow acceptable or possibly a wrongdoing in payroll processing?  <response>: Threads like this make me appreciate my employers 401k process. My contributions get invested a day or two before I get paid.
