DEFINITION of 'Cafeteria Plan'. An employee benefit plan that allows staff to choose from a variety of benefits to formulate a plan that best suits their needs. Cafeteria plan options may include health and accident insurance, cash benefits, tax advantages and/or retirement plan contributions.
Though some cafeteria plans offer an explicit choice of cash or benefits, most today are operated through a salary redirection agreement, which is a payroll deduction in all but name.
