Illinois Secure Choice is a simple and convenient retirement savings program for employers who do not already offer a plan. With Illinois Secure Choice, you can help your employees save for their future. Research shows that employees are more productive when they have less finance-related stress.1 They are also 15 times more likely to save for retirement if an option is available at work.2
By contributing to an IRA through payroll deduction, your employees can take control of and plan for their financial future now by using payroll deductions.
We know your primary responsibility is to keep your business running smoothly, so Illinois Secure Choice simplifies and limits your role. It can also help level the playing field when you compete to attract and retain employees.
