FAQ
1. What should I share with my employees?
Feel free to copy and paste this and share with your employees:
As a valued employee, we want to let you know in advance about new benefits and improvements coming to our 401(k) provider, SaveDay, in 2025 as well as an upcoming change to their fees.
Next year through SaveDay you'll be able to get:
- IRA accounts
- Trust & will

Our team will also receive enhanced customer support and greater accuracy in account updates through SaveDay's new custodian and recordkeeper, American Trust.

Thank you have a good day!
