Is this legal? $90 smaller paycheck. I had no idea about this and they did not communicate with me that it is automatic after my 90 days. I called to have it removed and of course…. Nope! You can put your percentages at 0 but your next pay check will be affected too! The one after will be back to normal. Tried calling the “financial” company they go through and of course they try to upsell me. I have my own retirement fund AWAY from my employment. I'm so sick of everyones hands in my money. Anyway, is it legal to be auto signed up for a 401k? Nothing was ever said to me about this. The financial company is called principal. It looks like a scummy company upon further review. In the US. Can I recoup my money?
