California has implemented a state retirement mandate that requires businesses that employ five or more employees to offer a qualified retirement plan or register with the state option, CalSavers. An employer is not required to participate in CalSavers if it sponsors or participates in a retirement plan such as a 401(k) plan or pension plan. In order to be exempt from CalSavers, an employer may sponsor a retirement plan for any of its employees; California employees need not be covered by the retirement plan in order for the employer to be exempt.
