Some of your clients may be subject to a State Mandate to offer retirement benefits
There is a developing trend among states to enact legislation requiring employers without retirement plans to enroll their employees in a payroll deduction individual retirement account (IRA) program run by the state. Employers will be required to automatically enroll their employees in the plan unless they actively opt out by offering a qualified retirement plan to their employees, like Everyday 401(k).
Select one of the four tabs directly below to locate your state. For all those that have passed legislation, you can click on the state in the map (or in the legend) for details.
