Employee Transaction Report (ET-2533)
The employer must notify the WRS when a participating employee terminates employment retirement coverage by reporting him/her on an Employee Transaction Report. This report serves as a mechanism for reporting other types of employee transactions when:
An employee changes category due to change in job duties.
A previously submitted employee transaction requires correction.
Late reported earnings or salary changes must be reported.
An employee takes a leave due to medical reasons.
The reporting of terminated employees and other types of employee transactions should occur within one week after final reportable earnings have been paid. For state agencies on Central Payroll, employee transactions will be transmitted via the bi-weekly payroll tape. Corrections must be made through Central Payroll rather than sending paper forms to ETF.
