Tom was delighted to learn that he could keep the 401(k) and establish a defined benefit plan. He'll maintain his company's 401(k) and continue to make contributions equal to 3% of each of his employee's salary. Tom will establish a defined benefit plan and contribute $100,000 for himself and $8,500 on behalf of his two employees. But to provide an incentive for his employees to stay with him until he retires, he will vest benefits in the plan over six years.
