Event details

California’s retirement security law (Senate Bill 1234) requires all businesses with 1 employee to offer retirement benefits, and the December 31, 2025, deadline is approaching fast. Don’t risk penalties or scramble at the last minute.

We’ll discuss how to stay compliant and choose the best option for your business.

Specifically, we will:

  • Review compliance deadlines for workplace plans and required training
  • Discuss how to meet Senate Bill 1234 retirement plan requirements without breaking the bank
  • Go over retirement plan options: CalSavers vs. private plans (401k, 403b, etc.)
  • Hear the benefits of CalSavers directly from a CalSavers representative

Whether you have one employee or 50, you’ll leave with a clear action plan and timeline to meet California’s requirements—without stress or penalties.
