OneEnhanced Wage Adjustment Reporting
process introduced
IMRF has enhanced its Wage Adjustment Reporting Process to provide employers a more accurate, timely method of reporting member wages and contributions to IMRF.
 
This enhanced process allows employers to submit multiple wage adjustments at once for one or more employees using a new, downloadable spreadsheet available in Employer Access. After completion, employers may easily upload the spreadsheet to IMRF for processing.
 
The improved Wage Adjustment Reporting Process was introduced to help employers save time when entering multiple wage adjustments. Previously, employers were required to enter data for one employee and one wage period at a time. Now, employers can enter member data using one of three options:
  1. Following the standard single person, single wage period reporting process currently used in Employer Access.
  2. New: Entering one member's data for multiple wage periods using the downloadable spreadsheet in Employer Access.
  3. New: Using the downloadable spreadsheet in Employer Access to enter multiple members' data for one or more wage periods.
To introduce employers to the enhanced Wage Adjustment Reporting Process, IMRF has launched a new resource page  on its website, www.imrf.org. Located under the "Employers" tab, the new "Wage Adjustment Reporting Process" page features a step-by-step guide to the two new wage adjustment methods. Additionally, employers may access the guide by clicking the "Help" link in Employer Access.
