What is a Pooled Employer Plan?

A PEP allows organizations to pool resources with other employers to make retirement plans less expensive and easier to manage.

Peppermint manages all the administration, so you don’t have to expend your valuable resources. We also take care of the risk, audits, and reviews.

Bonus: Setting up a PEP may give you up to $15,000 in tax credits over 3 years
