Did you know…
CalSavers, the State of California’s mandated retirement savings program, extends to any small business with 5 or more full or part time employees.

The mandate has been in effect for 9 months, but many growing small employers still have questions.

A bit of background…
The California Legislature established CalSavers in 2016 as a way to guarantee that all working Californians have access to financial retirement security. CalSavers achieves this goal by creating a portable and low-cost option for workers to invest in their future.

Specifically, CalSavers requires California businesses that employ five or more employees to do one of the following:
(1) offer a retirement plan to their employees and opt out of CalSavers; or
(2) provide their employees with access to CalSavers.

If the employer fails to comply, they will be subject to a minimum penalty of $250 per employee, with an additional $500 per employee if requirements are not met within 90 days of the initial penalty.
