As the employer, you have certain responsibilities involved with enrolling and reporting retirement system members. You will want to keep the following points in mind:
You are responsible for making the initial determination of an employee's eligibility for membership. The following pages explain the membership rules that currently apply. Review these pages carefully when making your determination.
You are responsible for reporting all eligible employees from the first day of eligibility. (See Chapters 7 and 8 for instructions on how to report eligible employees.)
You are responsible for documenting your decision regarding a position's eligibility. (See Chapter 12 for a sample worksheet you can use for documenting your decisions.) Your documentation will help protect you in case questions arise about a decision you have made.
You are responsible for regularly reviewing the determinations you have made. By doing so, you can ensure that you are reporting correctly.
