I can put up to 10% of my paycheck into mine, and get to buy stock at 85% of the plan stock price. The plan's stock price is the price of the stock on the first day or the last day of the purchase period, whichever is lower. Right now for me, it's a great deal, especially since I can sell it immediately if I want.
