[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to spread it out because my employer matches per pay period. My wife’s employer matches per pay period, plus does a true up at end of year to ensure % of final salary by year end is contributed to the employee. A friend of mine told me that his employer does not place the matching funds in his account until March of the next year (just before taxes are due). So you if you leave your job in January of 2024, you will miss out on all the matching funds you would’ve received for 2023. They also have a long time lag for paying bonuses. Basically, if you leave your job, you are forced to leave money on the table (either the 401K match or your bonus for the previous year). [/quote] You don’t lose out on your match, if you leave at any point. You get a pro-rated share if it’s a partial year and if you leave in January like your example, you get a full year match.[/quote]
