Forbes provides a good primer on the differences between various employee retirement plans, taking into account the less-than-three-year-old Roth 401(k) (which, as the article points out, essentially combines aspects of the Roth IRA and the 401(k)).

The guide is written from the employee's perspective, though. And we were wondering: what should an employer--particularly a small business employer--be looking to offer his employees? We ask the question while proceeding from the premise that offering your employees a robust retirement plan is not only the right thing to do but also good for business, since it improves morale and helps you to attract top candidates.

We're going to look into this more and return to it later, but for now, we thought we'd put the question to you: which plans do you offer your employees? Which plans do you pointedly not offer them? And how is this new-fangled Roth 401(k)? Comments are below, and our email is bizboxonslate@gmail.com.
