Employer Mandated 403(b)

[Concerned33]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

Is it legal for an employer in CA to give you a "cash in lieu" of benefits allotment included in your wages and then stipulate that you must use that money to contribute to a 403(b) account?

Such mandates are often included in union contracts or, in local governments, the Civil Service rules.
