<prompt> Human: Throwaway because I feel dumb.Husbands new employer has 4 401k matching. I thought that meant they would match his contributions up to 4 of his annual salary.He says he asked his benefits person and she says that no, they will match 4 of his contributions. If he contributes 100, they will contribute 4. This seems somewhat close to pointless, but Im also new to 401k matching. Is this way pretty common?EDIT: Thank you for the responses. Well be attempting to clarify. Most responses are TL;DR: Thats garbage.  <response>: 4c on the dollar would be so uncommon and outrageous that it makes me believe your husband or the HR person misunderstood. It would seem to me that as a company, advertising you offer a 401k with a 437; match that is not in sync with the industry standard of such a definition of a 401k benefit would be misrepresenting compensation packages and grounds for a class action lawsuit.I would have your husband check again and request an explanation via email using actual numbers as an example to clarify.
