As the retirement crisis looms, people just aren’t saving for their retirement like they should be and need to be. That’s why in 2019, the SECURE ACT 1.0 was passed, to provide benefits to employers for offering retirement plans and to employees for who participate in those plans. Now, three years later, SECURE Act 2.0 has passed and is expanding opportunities for workplace retirement plans across the United States. Tune in as host Gene Marks talks with Sarah Faye Pierce, Head of Government Relations at Paychex, and Michael Majors, VP of HR Solutions at Paychex, about these two big pieces of legislation and how they are working to help businesses and their employees.
