Keystone Saves
Keystone Saves is a proposed State Backed program that would mandate employers to enroll their employees into an IRA (Individual Retirement Account) with the hope that employees would contribute to the account and rely on it for retirement.
A voluntary employee retirement savings program but opt out only for employers that would expand access to private sector individual retirement accounts (IRA) to the over two million Pennsylvania workers who currently have no opportunity to save for retire
This is a half-baked solution to address the lack of retirement savings in the workforce and WILL unfairly burden small business owners who are more likely to not have a company sponsored retirement plan. Your time and resources are precious, tell the Government to stay out of your operations. In other states that have implemented this, the employer paperwork is immense.
