For part-time workers, saving for retirement can be a challenge. Many part-time employees are often excluded from 401(k) plans because they often don’t meet the plan’s eligibility requirements. This includes many students, parents and individuals with multiple part-time jobs. However, new legislation that goes into effect on January 1, 2024, is about to change that.

There are over 90 provisions in the Secure Act 2.0.  Hear from  RSG’s clients’ perspective on the legislation addressing student loans, emergency savings, ROTH employer contributions. The two driving themes that directly address the social problem of the American savings culture are: 1. more tax credits/incentives for businesses to offer the programs  2.a significant increase in pushing auto-enrollment and auto-escalation features

Required for 2024: Luckily, the required changes for 2024 are minimal. Long-term, part-time employees become eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan. Catch-up contributions are required to be Roth if the participant earns more than $145,000 in W-2 compensation.
