The Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) will be hosting two webinars focused on providing the collision industry more information about the 401(k) Multiple Employer Plan (MEP) the association launched in 2019. The program is designed to provide members with access to cost-effective retirement plans that reduce costs, mitigate administrative burdens, limit fiduciary risks and increase what SCRS members are able to offer to attract and retain employees.
The first webinar will be held at 2 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, Feb. 26 and will focus on “Everything You Need to Know About Switching From an Existing Plan.” SCRS’s plan advisors will walk through topics designed to help inform businesses with an existing retirement solution in place about the benefit and process of adopting the SCRS plan. The webinar is open to everyone in the collision industry, including those who are not members of SCRS. Topics will include:
- New tax benefits from the SECURE ACT
- What have we seen from members who have switched to the SCRS plan, and how it has met expectations relative to key factors in the decision?
- How to navigate existing relationships with your current plan
- Educating employees and answering questions that have been common for participating businesses
- Transition process: what is needed, timeline, integration and what to expect
- What is needed from your business to review and compare against your plan in 2020?
