Salary-Reduction Contribution
(redirected from Salary Reduction Contribution)

    0.03 sec.
Salary-Reduction Contribution
A contribution to an employer-sponsored plan whereby the employee does not receive a check for his/her entire salary. Rather, the employer puts a portion of the salary into the plan directly; the contribution is automatically invested for the employee's retirement. A salary reduction contribution may come before or after the employee's taxes. This determines whether or not the withdrawals after retirement are taxable. See also: IRA, 401(k).
