What Will 2024 Bring?

As many remote and hybrid policies become permanent, you will need a solid plan and robust policies in 2024 to manage payroll tax obligations and deliver top tier benefits across multiple locations. 401(k) Plan Changes and Opportunities Driven by SECURE 2.0 Beyond Roth catch-up contributions for higher earners, employers will gear up for other mandatory changes, such as an increased age for Required Minimum Distributions and eligibility for long-term part-time employees. However, employers will also explore new opportunities created by SECURE 2.0, such as emergency savings accounts, expanded withdrawal events, and matching contributions for student loan payments.
