Register
All Colorado business owners are now able to register for the program and begin setting up employees.
Upload
Upload your employees’ payroll information and submit your employees’ savings contributions levels. You can even invite a payroll representative to help you facilitate this process. Your payroll representative can be an Admin, a teammate, or even your bookkeeper or payroll administrator.
Update
Keep your employee records up to date. This includes submitting your payroll details every pay period and keeping your employees’ payroll contributions and staff list up to date.
Things you will NOT be responsible for
As an employer, you’ll have a limited role in facilitating Colorado SecureSavings so you can stay focused on running your business. You will not be responsible for:
Setting up your employees’ retirement savings accounts. This happens automatically.
Answering questions about Colorado SecureSavings and its investment options, or helping employees choose investments.
Managing Colorado SecureSavings investment options and processing employee investment change requests.
Processing distributions from employee investment accounts.
Managing employee investment account changes. Your employees will be responsible for maintaining their account information and settings if enrolled.
