We're excited to announce that if employers are using an outside 401(k) provider, they can now setup percentage deductions from their employees' pay for 401(k).

Schedule Outside 401(k) Deductions

Previously on the Justworks product, all types of outside scheduled deductions were based on flat, set amounts. Now, employers can setup scheduled outside 401(k) deductions based on a percentage as well as a flat amount.

Whenever 401(k) pretax or 401(k) after-tax is selected, an option now appears to select whether to deduct a flat amount or a percentage.

Note that this has always been possible for employees that have already signed up for a 401(k) plan through Justworks, we're just now enabling it for companies using outside 401(k) providers.

We hope this new feature makes it even easier for your employees to save for their futures - let us know what you think! Want to learn more about how to get your team enrolled in Justworks 401(k)Get in touch(opens in a new tab)!
