My employer's 401k plan matches contribution for all employees BUT excludes one dept. team. Is that legal?

Employer's 401k plan offers contributions to all employees that enroll in the plan and contribute to it. However, this 401k model is different for an specific departamental team where this selected group of people can enroll in the 401k plan but does not get the benefit of the company's contribution.
Is is legal that the company offering a 401k plan does not apply the same benefit all across the organization?
