Did Kodak initiate the 401k plan?

Kodak did not initiate the 401(k) plan; rather, the 401(k) plan was established as part of the Revenue Act of 1978, which allowed employees to defer a portion of their salary into a retirement savings account. The first 401(k) plans were implemented in the early 1980s, following the law's enactment. Kodak, like many other companies, adopted the 401(k) plan later as a retirement savings option for its employees.
