DOL Takes Step to Reduce the Cost of Retirement Plans for Small Manufacturers

In a blog post for Shopfloor (Oct. 22), the National Association of Manufacturers Director of Tax and Domestic Economic Policy Charles Crain wrote, “Earlier this year, President Trump issued an executive order requiring the Department of Labor (DOL) to take steps to expand the ability of small businesses to join with other companies to offer a single retirement plan for their employees, effectively reducing the cost of offering retirement benefits. Today, the DOL released a proposed rule to implement the executive order and enable small businesses to join with industry or local partners via a business association to offer retirement benefits to their employees.”
