The CalSavers Retirement Savings Program is a state-mandated retirement savings initiative requiring eligible California employers that do not offer a tax-qualified retirement plan to facilitate employee participation in the program through payroll deductions. Employers with five or more employees must comply with registration deadlines based on their size, with smaller employers (one to four employees) required to register by December 31, 2025.  Exempt employers, including those maintaining tax-qualified retirement plans or employing only owner-employees, are not required to participate; however, owner-employers must actively claim their exemption through the CalSavers website.   Employers are not fiduciaries of the program and bear no liability for employee decisions or investment outcomes.  For more information or to register, visit the CalSavers website at https://employer.calsavers.com.

California Employers Must Have a Retirement Plan or Affirmatively Claim an Exemption by December 31, 2025
