Employers in California who employed an average of five or more employees must register with CalSavers by June 30, 2022 if they do not offer a qualified retirement plan.

 

CalSavers Compliance Deadline: Eligible employers with 5 or more employees must register by June 30, 2022.

State law now requires all businesses with five or more employees to participate in CalSavers if they do not offer a qualified retirement savings plan from the private market. Eligible employers must register for CalSavers by their state required deadline, which vary by employer size. The deadline for employers with 5 or more employees is June 30, 2022. The registration deadlines for employers with more than 50 employees have passed. Those who have not yet registered should do so as soon as possible to avoid penalties. Eligible employers don’t need to wait and can register any time before their deadline. For more information on how to get started, visit CalSavers.com.

The State of California created CalSavers to ensure all Californians can save for their future with the ease of automatic payroll contributions and portability that allows them to keep saving as they move from job to job. With many people struggling to overcome financial setbacks caused by the pandemic, many employers are looking at retirement programs to help employees improve their financial wellness and save for the future.

For employers, CalSavers will eliminate the three major concerns that some small business owners cite as reasons for not offering a retirement plan: fees, liability, and complex administration. Instead, CalSavers provides employers a program with:

  • Zero fees for employers to facilitate.
  • No employer fiduciary liability because CalSavers is not anemployer-sponsored plan.
  • Simplicity. All employers have to do is maintain an employee roster, and deduct and remit contributions. There are no forms for employers to collect or distribute and employees manage their accounts directly with CalSavers.

A simple way to facilitate retirement savings for your employees, with no fees for your business.

For employees, CalSavers is a completely voluntary workplace Individual Retirement Account (IRA) program designed to be simple, low-fee, and portable from job to job. Employees will be automatically enrolled, but can choose to opt-out at any time.

Eligible employers are encouraged to sign up at any time! Individuals who don’t work for a participating employer and self-employed entrepreneurs can sign up on their own here. For more information or to join a free webinar, please visit CalSavers.com.

“We are very impressed with your Chamber. We have been members of other Chambers over the years and it’s been nothing like the experiences we’re having right out of the gate with your organization. Thank you for your great communication, follow up, and professionalism.”
– Peter Dewey, Bayview Painting

“I couldn’t have asked for a better resource than the Chamber, as I was establishing my medical practice in Lafayette. AJ, Holly, and Sara were so responsive to my questions and gave me many ideas on networking in the community. They host several events that foster community building. I honestly cannot imagine a more robust, active, and friendly chamber as this. I’m a member for life!”
– Cheruba Prabakar, Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery

“WE LOVE THE CHAMBER! Batch and Brine has been a member of the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce for almost six years. We value and appreciate the incredible amount of work this organization produces for our community through many events and support for each business. The networking and education of information that’s spilled out weekly for the business community is impressive. They are a helping hand in so many ways for our business community and beyond. We couldn’t be part of this community without being part of the chamber. Lafayette Chamber is one of the best organizations we’ve worked with, so don’t think twice about it, join the Chamber!” – Rolla Ghaben, Batch & Brine

“The Chamber was instrumental in helping us open 14 years ago. The staff went out of their way to help us make connections and ensure we were successful. We would not be where we are today without the Chamber!”
– John & Colleen McCormick, Lamorinda Music
