What is Roth 401(k)?
A retirement savings option within an employer-sponsored 401(k) plan that allows employees to make after-tax contributions, with qualified withdrawals in retirement being completely tax-free, including all investment earnings.
Why it matters in hiring
Roth 401(k) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
