401K Question...

[MTG#10]

Bumping this old thread instead of making a new one.

My previous employer of the last 15 years didnt match our 401k so excuse my ignorance on this.

My new employer that Ive been with for a year and a half or so supposedly matches our 401k contribution up to 3%, so I decided to have 3% deducted from each check. Today I received my first check since enrolling and noticed my employer matched exactly half of what I had taken out (1.5%). Do I have to have 6% taken out to get the full 3% my employer is supposed to match or did I get screwed?

Asking here first because I'd rather look like a moron here than to the head of HR.
