I don't think you can have employee contributions be mandatory. It must be the non discretionary employer match that you are calling the employee contribution. I don't think employee contributions ever need to vest either. I assume you requested the plan document?

i believe it can be "mandatory" but the employee may opt out. I assume why this is considered "mandatory" is because the employee is not free to change their elections during the year? either way it sounds super sketchy.

It's technically benefit overflow money. The way this works is that the employee gets a certain amount of benefit money. They then pay for insurance, pre-tax transit, etc. out of this money. Whatever is left, gets put in the 401k, and we've been told there's no way to opt out of this.

ok -- so the dollars going to the 401k are in excess of the actual salary? that sounds a lot more reasonable, then. (those fees are still ridiculous though)
