State agencies employing Arkansas Public Employees' Retirement System members must report contributions electronically through the system portal beginning July 1, 2017.

State agencies must pay employer contributions by electronic transfer instead of state warrant or bank check, effective July 1, 2017.

Participating public employers in the Local Government Division must also make contributions by electronic transfer on or after July 1, 2017.

Public employers unable to comply with electronic reporting or payment requirements may submit a written request for temporary waiver to the Board of Trustees by July 1, 2017, including a timeline for compliance.

Reporting employers remain solely responsible for ensuring accuracy of all information provided to the system, including wage reporting and contribution remittances.
