Do employers get paid on your 401k participation?

Sort of... Employers (generally regarded as highly compensated employees) are often not eligible to participate in the plan until the "non-highly" compensated employees contribute. To encourage the non-highly compensated employees to contribute to the plan, employers (or highly-compensated employees) will offer a match to induce participation. This participation then allows folks with larger incomes to contribute (and obtain tax deductions thereby.)
