You can run alone or as a company team. 4.01k is just 2.5 miles, so almost anyone can do it. You run at the time and place of your choosing any time between 4:01 pm on Thursday, 4/1 through 4:01 pm on Saturday, 4/3. Take a selfie of your watch and send us your time. It's that simple.

Not a competitor? No problem, just get out and walk or run at your own pace and send us a selfie anyways. After a long cold winter we could all use it.

Thanks to Norwood Bank's sponsorship we will have t-shirts for all participants and prizes for the winners.

401 (k) Plan for Members - Informational Webinars
New Tax Credits for Establishing a Retirement Plan for your Business!
According to a recent Pew study, the top reason why small businesses do not sponsor a 401(k) plan today is cost. Higher tax credits may promote better implementation and utilization of corporate sponsored retirement plans.

Before the SECURE Act, a small business (up to 100 employees) could claim a tax credit equal to 50% of their retirement plan startup costs, up to a $500 limit.
Now, the limit is the greater of (1) $500 or (2) the lesser of (a) $250 multiplied by the number of non-highly compensated employees eligible for plan participation or (b) $5,000. This credit is available for up to three years.

Learn how to take advantage of these savings with the Neponset River Regional Chamber 401(k) Program.

Existing 401(k) Plans and Startup Plans can both benefit from this solution.

2 Options Available:
  • Smaller businesses (2-10 employees) who have not established a retirement plan have access to a solution that can be implemented efficiently, and has straight-forward features and customization options. 

  • Larger businesses, or those with existing plans, can convert to a pooled employer plan solution with all the robust features essential to today’s retirement plans.

Covid-19 Vaccinations in the Workplace - Mandatory or Voluntary?
As the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines picks up pace, many employers are considering whether to require all their employees to be vaccinated. During this program we will address the relevant legal and practical issues that employers need to consider when making this decision, including the following important questions:

  • Is it lawful to require your employees to be vaccinated?
  • Can you fire an employee who refuses to be vaccinated?
  • Are there situations where an employee may refuse to be vaccinated and you may not fire them?
  • What are the pros and cons from a practical standpoint of requiring your employees to be vaccinated?
  • The goal of this session is to provide you with an understanding of the key issues that you need to resolve in deciding whether or not to make Covid-19 vaccinations mandatory in your workplace.
