Companies Plan to Reinstate 401(k) Matches
The Wall Street Journal; subscription may be required 
Oct. 22, 2009
Excerpt: Many businesses are quietly restoring plans to match a portion of their employees' 401(k) contributions. About half of the companies that suspended matches will be restoring them in 2010, says Byron Beebe, U.S. retirement market leader at Hewitt Associates. The majority of employers never expected to make the suspension permanent, says Mr. Beebe. Already, some big companies, including American Express Co. and Motorola Inc., have announced that they would reinstate suspended matches in 2010. Until recently, many employers have offered up to 6% of gross pay. Some companies are considering offering a lower match or using a tiered approach, which takes into account a person's length of employment.
