What is an employer pension plan?
Rounding it up
An Employer Pension Plan (EPP) is a type of retirement savings account offered by an employer as a great benefit to its employees.
There are two main types of EPPs: Defined Contribution Plans and Defined Benefit Plans. They differ greatly in how they work.
EPPs aren’t the only type of retirement accounts offered by employers; prepare for retirement by exploring what options are available to you.
