Some companies now are contributing to their employees’ student loan payments, just like they do to their retirement accounts, LA Biz reported. Last year only 3 percent of employers offered the benefit, according to the Society for Human Resource Management, but among them are a few major corporations, including PricewaterhouseCooper and Natixis Global Asset Management. This spring, Fidelity Investments also started offering student-debt relief to nearly 5,000 of its employees, chipping in up to $2,000 per year, with a maximum total of $10,000. According a July 2015 survey by Iontuition, a website that helps students and families manage their education finances, nearly 80 percent of people with student loan debt would like to work for a company that offers repayment assistance.
