Make Sure Your Pay Dates Are Correct
Will your organization have a pay date on or within a few days of December 31, 2020? If so, let us know if contributions and wages on your bill will be reported on employee W2s in a year other than the billing date year. It is vital that your pay date is correct in our records, so we can verify your employees' contributions will not exceed the annual limits. Please email us at finance@ohiodc.org if your payroll date on your bill, near year-end, needs to be corrected in our records. When contacting us, please include your employer name or employer number in the email.

Do Not Be Surprised by Contribution Increases
Ohio DC's mission is to help your employees save for a secure retirement. One of the best methods we have found to encourage increased saving is the SMarT Plan. It is an annual automatic increase plan and the majority of people use January as the time when they have those increases take place. Occasionally, employers are surprised by the number of these increases, so if you receive an unusually large January Change Report from us, that is likely the reason. Your employees and Ohio DC staff thank you for quickly making these changes.

If there is anything Ohio DC can do to help you encourage your staff to save for retirement, please let us know. If you would like to learn more about what we can do to help, visit Ohio457.org or call your local Account Executive or our Service Center at 877.644.6457 to schedule an appointment.
