As the employer, you have certain responsibilities for 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 eligibility determination.
You are responsible for documenting your decision regarding a position's eligibility. You may use the "Position Eligibility Worksheet" for this purpose. 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.
All employers are responsible for reporting eligible members and retirees returning to work from the first day of hire. School districts and educational service districts must also report substitute employees from the first day of hire. (See Chapters 7 and 8 for instructions on how to report employees).
