Can an employee's 401k plan be moved when the employee leaves?

That depends on what you mean by making someone participate.

401(k) plans are a special kind of profit sharing plan. From the perspective of the IRS, once an employee is eligible for a profit sharing plan, and has passed the plan entry date, that person is a participant in the plan even if no money is ever deposited for the individual.

Many employers have automatic enrollment plans that require an employee to take action if they don't want to participate. Employees who ignore the enrollment materials, or forget about the information provided, may feel as though they were forced to participate. When an employee chooses not to respond, he or she has essentially elected to participate at the default rate chosen by the employer.

In a traditional IRA you money is held by a custodian. You investment choices are limited to those that the custodians allow you to.

Self directed IRA's allow you more investment choices. You still need the

custodian, but they allow you more investment choices. You request a check for a specific investment like real estate and they'll send you a check.

Then there are those that give you full control of your money and give you check writing privileges, like the broad financial Ultimate IRA. You don't need to make any request from custodians, you simply write a check.

There are some prohibited transactions, like investing in collectors items.
