WA Saves Could Cost Business Owners
Most Washington businesses without an employer-sponsored retirement plan must register for WA Saves, starting July 1, 2027, the state’s new retirement savings program.

While beneficial for workers, the program raises concerns for employers, particularly small businesses.
