profit sharing plan

Workers get dividends

A profit sharing plan is an arrangement where a company distributes a portion of its profits to employees, typically as contributions to retirement accounts.

The amount each employee receives usually depends on salary level or length of service.

Unlike bonuses, profit sharing contributions are often tax-deferred: The company's profit sharing plan contributed 5% of my salary to my 401(k).
