company pension

Workplace retirement benefit

A company pension is a retirement benefit provided by an employer, where the company contributes funds toward an employee's income after they stop working.

Traditional company pensions guarantee a specific monthly payment based on salary and years of service: She retired with a generous company pension after thirty years.

These defined-benefit plans have become increasingly rare, largely replaced by contribution-based retirement accounts like 401(k)s.
