A free webinar, “Business Blueprint: Workforce Strategies in Maine’s Evolving Economy,” will be offered at 10 a.m. on Dec. 6 by the Alfond Center for the Advancement of Maine’s Workforce, part of the Maine Community College System.
Starting in April 2024, Maine employers with five or more employees will be required to offer a qualified retirement savings plan. To make compliance easier, the Maine Legislature has established MERIT, a free and straightforward solution for employers to meet this new workplace savings requirement, according to a news release from the Maine Community College System.
In the latest edition of the Business Blueprint free webinar series, join Dana Connors, past president of the Maine State Chamber; Elizabeth Bordowitz, executive director for Maine Retirement Investment Trust; and Nate Moody, retirement plan advisor and partner at Lebel & Harriman and the vice president of the Maine Employee Benefits Council, to learn about program options and what small employers must do to comply by 2024.
