The most important reason why most people don’t start saving for retirement is because of the high costs associated with it. Oasis is looking to change that by offering low-cost retirement plans. It also comes with the perk that there is no membership fee for either employees or employers. At Oasis, we also accept rollover contributions, which is the transfer of retirement funds from one account to another.
For employers, it is mandatory to offer retirement benefits for employees as per the California retirement law, 2021

FAQs

State-mandated retirement plans are the result of legislation requiring small businesses to provide retirement benefits to their employees. These employers now have the added responsibility of choosing a plan that’s right for their business and performing various administrative tasks to comply with the laws. Their employees must also find the plan beneficial – a critical aspect to retaining top talent.

What are state-mandated retirement plans?

When states require employers to provide their employees with retirement savings opportunities, it’s known as a state-mandated retirement. Businesses generally have two ways to comply with these laws – enroll their employees into a state-sponsored retirement program or sponsor a plan of their own through the private market, such as those offered by ADP.

Why are states mandating these retirement plans?

Some states have begun mandating retirement plans to address the retirement savings gap in this country. Their response is based on research that shows:

The average working household has virtually no retirement savings
Employees are more likely to save when they have access to 401K Plan or similar plan by their employer
Only four in 10 businesses with less than 100 employees offer retirement benefits

What type of retirement plans are these?

State-sponsored retirement plans are commonly Roth individual retirement accounts (IRA). With this type of savings, employee contributions are deducted from post-tax income, which means their money is generally tax free at the time of withdrawal. In comparison, a traditional IRA is funded with pretax payroll deductions, thereby lowering the employee’s taxable income. When the individual draws from the account, however, the money is subject to taxes.

What are these retirement plans for?

State-mandated retirement plans are designed for low to moderate income wage earners who work for small and midsized businesses in the public sector. These plans are entirely separate from the state-funded retirement programs for public employees.

What are the requirements for employers and employees?

The requirements for state-mandated retirement benefits largely depend on individual jurisdictions, the size of the organization and how long it has been in business. Generally, employers must enroll their employees in the state-sponsored program if they don’t offer another retirement plan and perform the detailed administrative and reporting work necessary under state law. These tasks can be daunting, which is why many employers choose one of Oasis Retirement Trust easy-to-manage plans instead.

Employee requirements also may vary. In states that sponsor Roth IRAs, participants must not earn more than the IRS maximum to be eligible for such plans.

How do state-mandated retirement plans work?

The inner workings of mandatory retirement plans depend on the state, but there are some commonalities. Typically, plans are administered through payroll deductions and employees are automatically enrolled but can opt out or change how much they contribute. Employers themselves are usually prohibited from contributing to the plans.

There are, however, some exceptions to these general guidelines. For instance, Massachusetts permits Safe Harbor matching contributions by employers. Business owners should check with local authorities for specific information on how their state-sponsored retirement plan works.
