California is one of the first states to launch a retirement savings initiative. Over the course of a 3-year rollout based on employer size, all businesses with over 5 employees will be mandated to choose from the one-size-fits-all, state-provided, automatic Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or sign up for an eligible retirement plan with a private provider

Employer Size

Plan Setup Deadline

More than 100 employees

June 30, 2020

More than 50 employees

5 or more employees

We’ve got the best alternative. Ubiquity Retirement + Savings provides affordable and robust 401(k) plans customized to meet your needs.
