Overview

When you’re competing for hires, benefits are part of the offer.
Paychex offers 401(k) plans for businesses of every size, from an owner-only Solo 401(k) to a pooled employer plan that simplifies administration. Employees can enroll in four clicks and manage their accounts in Paychex Flex.
If you have 50 or fewer employees, a federal tax credit can cover 100% of the eligible costs of setting up and running your plan, up to $5,000 a year for the first three years. Businesses with 51 to 100 employees can get 50%.
  • Pooled employer plan (PEP): shares plan administration and can reduce fiduciary liability
  • Traditional 401(k): pre-tax or Roth contributions, with a safe harbor option
  • Solo 401(k): for owner-only businesses
