5 or More Employees? Read this!

September 5, 2021 by Michael Simkins

California employers — including nonprofits — are required by state law to facilitate enrollment in the CalSavers program if they don’t offer an employer-sponsored retirement plan and have five or more employees. All eligible employers can register at any time prior to their registration deadline. The deadline for employers with more than 50 employees was June 30, 2021. The deadline for those with 5 or more is June 30, 2022.

Don’t get caught behind on this one! If you are not in compliance, you face a fine of $250 to $500 per employee. Click the the link below for full information.

Member Testimonial

In a few moments, FDO can provide more funder and grantor information that any person could assemble in a whole work week. The depth and breadth of information provided in FDO is simply not available through any other resources. I appreciate being able to access it as a Spokes member.
