With the RRSP deadline around the corner, this is a perfect time to remind your employees about their retirement benefits. Below are two templates that you can customize and send to your team by email, text, or instant message.
Template 1 - Retirement Plan Reminder (send in mid-January or early February)
Subject line: Top up your Common Good RRSP by February 28, 2025
Hi team,
As part of our commitment to your financial wellness, we're sharing a reminder that this is a great time to top up your RRSP contributions in your Common Good retirement plan. The deadline to contribute to your plan for a tax deduction is February 28th at 11:59 pm EST.
You can sign in on your mobile device or computer and select 'Add funds'.
For those who have not joined our retirement plan, it's not too late. A key benefit of your workplace RRSP is that fees are significantly less than what a bank charges. That means more money in your pocket compared to a typical RRSP.
All monthly contributions are taken right from your paycheque. Even if you only save a small amount each month, by joining the plan now, you ensure access to a low-fee plan for life.
