I have a defined contribution, which is money contributed by the company to my 401k on top of my 401k... that's about it. But it counts enough to where I've always paid dues on my 401k money I've contributed.
This is exactly what we have at XJT and we have NEVER had our 401k contributions added to our dues calculation.
