CalSavers: What Employers Need to Know
CalSavers was created by state law to improve retirement security for Californians who don’t have a way to save for retirement at work. Under the law, employers are required to join CalSavers if they do not sponsor a retirement plan.

Designed to be simple for employees and easy for employers, CalSavers is professionally managed by private sector financial firms with oversight from a public board chaired by the State Treasurer. There are no fees for employers and employees manage their accounts directly with CalSavers.

The Dublin Chamber of Commerce is getting the word out about CalSavers because…The registration deadlines have passed for most employers. If employers missed their registration deadline, they should register today to avoid penalties. Each year, newly mandated employers will receive notifications informing them about their mandate status and will be required to register by the end of the calendar year.

On January 1, 2023, businesses with as few as one employee became eligible to join CalSavers. Employers with fewer than five employees are not required to register until December 31, 2025. For more information on how to get started visit  CalSavers.com/employer. Or join a webinar to learn how the program works and get any questions answered in real time: https://employer.calsavers.com/home/employers/support.html

Employer Incentive Campaign: We’re excited to announce our Employer Incentive Campaign (EIC), aimed at encouraging early adoption of CalSavers among eligible employers. Here’s how it works:

• $500 Cash Prize: 2,000 employers will be randomly selected to receive a $500 prize.
• How to Qualify: Register early, add employees, and process at least one contribution by the end of the drawing period. Employers must maintain compliance throughout the campaign.
• Drawing Periods: The first closes at the end of July, and the second at the end of November 2025. 1,000 employers will be selected in each drawing for a total of $1 million in prizes.

Did you know it is mandatory for employers with 50 or more full-time employees in the Bay Area to register with the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program?

Even if your employer offers commuter benefits, to be in compliance with the Bay Area Air District’s Regulation 14, Rule 1, they are required to enroll in the program and update their registration annually. Employers can choose from five commuter benefit options:

1. Pre-tax transit benefits
2. Employer-provided subsidy for transit or vanpooling
3. Employer-provided transit (such as shuttles)
4. Telework one or more days a week
5. A custom plan that includes other modes like bicycling or walking, possibly combined with promotions that encourage alternates to driving alone and more

Enrollment in the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program is easy and free by visiting 511.org. Take advantage of the many resources to help you comply. We provide online resources to guide you through this quick process or feel free and you can speak to one of our team members for hands-on support. For more information, visit 511.org, call us at 510-285-3182  or email the team at commuterbenefits@511.org to confirm if your organization is registered.
