I just started a new 401K at work. The first 401k deduction came out out of my paycheck Friday a few days ago. Checking my 401K account online, I see the balance is still zero, on Monday. I called up the 401K folks, and they said employers often "wait a few days" before they get the money from the paycheck deduction over to the 401K folks. Hmmmm.
Is it legal for this to happen ???
I haven't called my company yet, about it.
