(13) Employee 401(k) Plan

 

We adopted The Willis 401(k) Plan (the 401(k) Plan) effective as of January 1997. The 401(k) Plan provides for deferred compensation as described in Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) Plan is a contributory plan available to all our full-time and part-time employees in the United States. In 2013, employees who participated in the 401(k) Plan could elect to defer and contribute to the 401(k) Plan up to 20% of pretax salary or wages up to $17,500 (or $23,000 for employees at least 50 years of age). We match 50% of employee contributions up to 8% of the employee’s salary which totaled $0.3 million for each of the years ended December, 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
