Help your employees build financial security.
As businesses work to recover from the financial impact of COVID-19, their employees are looking for benefits that give them more financial security. In fact, 51% of Americans have increased concern about their retirement due to the pandemic.1
Prior to the launch of OregonSaves, roughly half of Oregon’s workforce—an estimated one million workers—lacked access to a workplace retirement savings option.2 OregonSaves was created by law to meet this urgent need.
Workers who save $150 a month beginning when they’re 25, could have over $300,0003 by the time they retire.
What is OregonSaves?
OregonSaves is the state of Oregon’s retirement savings program that provides workers with an easy and automatic way to save for retirement at work. Contributions are made through payroll deductions into a Roth IRA (after tax) that follows the saver throughout their career.
Oregon businesses of all sizes will be required to register for OregonSaves in 2023 if they don’t already offer a qualified retirement savings plan. The good news? OregonSaves is an added benefit to offer your employees and comes at no cost to you. OregonSaves is a popular benefit and the simple program administration leaves you free to run your business. Registration is fast, easy, and secure.
