!!!Wisconsin - WRS 

The Department of Employee Trust Fund administrates the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS). All employees who meet both the following criteria must be enrolled in the WRS: 

#Employee is expected to work one-third of full-time per year (600 hours for non-teaching employees and 440 hours for teachers). 
#Employee is expected to be employed for at least one year (365 consecutive days, 366 in leap year) from date of hire. 

%%information If an employee is expected to work 9 to 10 months per year but is expected to return year after year, the one-year requirement is met.%%

!!WRS Setup
 
Users will need to establish a specific Benefit Plan Type, Benefit Plan, User Fields attached to Employment Statuses, Pay Elements and Interface Format in order to run the WRS report. 

!Benefit Plan Types - IBPT 
A special plan type of 'RETIREMENT' will be required so that this WRS system will only process the plans in this plan type. 

In the case where an employee works in two categories, then two separate plans must be setup, and the employee will be enrolled in both plans, with a different category (‘Coverage’) in each plan. 

If employee changes category during year, this change date must fall in a pay period end date, so that the hours/amount earned within a pay period are reported under the same category. 

!Benefit Plans/Coverages - IBPN 
The Benefit Plan may be set up with the standard benefit components documented in the Benefits 
Administration manual (see the Pension Sample Plan). 

The WRS system must be setup as a benefit plan, with the coverage being the Employment Categories 
[{$applicationname}]. 

Each eligible employee will then be enrolled into this plan, with the coverage corresponding to the employee’s 
Employment Category. 

The category contribution rates can then be stored in the Coverage Rate screen, and the Actual EE/ER 
amounts can be entered as a coverage component. Hours or other information that may not be entered as a 
coverage component must be supplied to the program as to where they are located (which Pay Component). 

There are 12-employment categories, each category carries a different contribution rates 

|Category ‘00’ General Employee|    EE=5.0%; BAC=1.2% 
|Category ‘01’ Court Reporter|     EE=5.0%; BAC=1.2%
