Empower Small Businesses With Payroll Deducted & SIMPLE Plans
We recently commissioned a survey* of small businesses and their employees, and the results were eye-opening: 93% of decision makers and 95% of employees at small businesses agree that Americans will not have enough money saved for retirement. Our commitment to promoting retirement readiness led us to develop a Workplace Savings Solution that gives small businesses and their employees access to easy, affordable retirement benefits when 401(k) isn't the right fit.

Easy, Cost-Effective Alternative To 401(k) Retirement Plans
A 401(k) isn't the right fit for every business. Our survey also showed that 66% of employers say that money is the biggest barrier to providing a retirement benefit, but only 23% have researched programs aside from 401(k) plans. Our Workplace Savings Solutions aim to improve retirement readiness by increasing access to easy, affordable retirement benefits like SIMPLE and Payroll Deducted IRAs.
Read Fact Sheet
SIMPLE IRA
A SIMPLE IRA can be established by any small business, generally with 100 or fewer employees. Similar to a 401(k), but with less expense and complication.
Payroll Deducted IRA
For any size business that wants to offer its employees the opportunity to have deductions taken from their paychecks to contribute to Traditional or Roth IRAs that the employees set up for themselves.
Key Features & Benefits
All of Millennium Trust’s Workplace Savings Solutions offer great benefits to both the employer and employee. It was created to encourage retirement readiness among the 55 million American workers who do not have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan.

Our Process
The employer establishes the plan online, with plan adoption completed via eSignature. Employers have access to plan reporting through an online dashboard, and can send messages to employees through a secure messaging center.
Once the plan has been established, employees can enroll in the plan online. Once enrolled, employees can self-service their account through their account dashboard and view plan details and account balance, and change deferral rates and investment elections.
