<prompt> Human: Hey guys,On March 23rd, I was hired full-time by the company that I was interning at. This proved to be pain in the ass in some respects permissions, etc., and the most recent one is that they forgot to add me to the 401k plan when I switched over.This is my first job with a 401k, and obviously Im going to save as much as possible. Its my fault for not asking HR earlier, but I assumed there was some sort of waiting period I think its supposed to be a month, not three and a half. Anyway, I guess Im asking if theres any sort of protocol here. Am I out of the money they should be matching 6, or do they owe me money for screwing up? I make 44k a year. Thank you!  <response>: Employers arent obligated to contribute to a 401k, so you can ask, but thats about it.
