State Launches Retirement Program for Small Businesses in Sacramento
WHAT: During a five-city tour across California that includes Sacramento, California State Treasurer John Chiang will officially launch CalSavers — a new retirement savings program that will level the playing field for the many small businesses that don’t have the resources to help their employees access retirement options. Through CalSavers, businesses with five or more employees that don’t already offer a retirement option will facilitate access to a retirement savings program without any administrative headaches or fees. The program will finally put millions of Californians on the path to a more secure retirement by allowing them to make automatic payroll deductions to a portable retirement savings account.
Treasurer Chiang will launch the program by hosting events in Los Angeles, San Diego, Fresno, Sacramento and San Francisco. Joining Treasurer Chiang in Sacramento will be Small Business Majority network member Lorenzo Harris, principal of Janico Building Services in North Highlands and a participant in the CalSavers pilot program, among others.
WHEN: Thursday, Nov. 29, 2018 at 9:15am PST
