Hosted by Vestwell

Looking to start your company retirement plan, but not sure where to begin? Or are you looking to save more money on your current company 401(k) plan? This webinar is for you.

Highlights Include:

• What you need to know as an employer starting a new retirement plan – e.g. with new plan tax credits
• What you need to know as an employer with an existing retirement plan – e.g. if you plan to make direct contributions to your 401(k) plan for your employees, expanded tax credits for employer match can help offset those costs.
• Key topics for both new and existing retirement plans
• Current state mandates
• How to get started
• Q&A session

You can grow your HR team internally, partner with HR support, outsource HR entirely, or sign up with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO). Each option has pros and cons, and “On the Other Side of the PEO” will clarify what you’re getting, what you’re giving up, and what it might look like on the other side of the PEO. We’ll dig into the reality of the PEO arrangement and help you decide if it’s a fit for your business. We’ll even give you tips for holding your PEO provider accountable.
