FAQ
California. CalSavers is the name of California's state-mandated retirement program. Through CalSavers, employees can contribute to a Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Employers with five or more employees must participate in CalSavers or offer a qualifying retirement plan alternative.
California established the CalSavers program to offset the retirement savings crisis in the United States. The state mandates that eligible businesses must offer the state-sponsored retirement savings program or establish a similar retirement plan that satisfies the requirement.
A limited liability company (LLC) is indeed eligible to establish a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA, which was designed to make it easy for small-business owners, self-employed individuals, and freelancers to set up tax-advantaged retirement plans.
Open a SIMPLE IRA through a bank or another financial institution. Set up a SIMPLE IRA plan at any time January 1 through October 1. If you became self-employed after October 1, you can set up a SIMPLE IRA plan for the year as soon as administratively feasible after your business starts.
If your business, in the preceding calendar year, employed on average a minimum of five employees based in California, with at least one being 18 years old or more, and does not sponsor a qualified retirement plan, it is obligated to register for CalSavers.
California businesses with 1+ employees are legally required to register for the state-sponsored retirement program, unless they offer a qualified retirement plan. The most recent deadline, in June 2022, required companies with 5+ employees to offer a qualified plan—or face fines.
Here are some commonly recommended retirement plans: Individual Retirement Account (IRA) Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA Solo 401(k) SIMPLE IRA (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees) Defined Benefit Plan Health Savings Account (HSA)
If your company doesn't offer a 401(k), you still can save for the future with an IRA, among other options. If you're self-employed, you can set up your own retirement plan (e.g. a solo 401(k), a SEP IRA, and/or a SIMPLE IRA). An IRA is also an option.
California. Current rule: As of June 30, 2022, California requires employers with five or more employees, to offer a retirement savings plan.
In the absence of any federal laws requiring that employers offer retirement plans, a growing number of states are passing legislation mandating that businesses provide these types of benefits for employees.
