The Retirement Systems is committed to providing its covered employers with the information and assistance necessary to perform functions related to enrollment of members, member information changes and education, and contribution reporting.
We have several tools available to help you do this job. The most comprehensive reference tool we offer is the Covered Employer Procedures Manual, which is typically updated each fiscal year. We also publish a quarterly employer update and utilize periodic memos and/or postcards to address issues requiring more immediate attention and/or dissemination.
Please check out our Events and Online Learning pages as well for a list of training and other opportunities.
