Schedule an employer meeting today; we’ll customize it to fit your needs.

As member benefits have expanded and improved in recent years, corresponding guidelines that you, as a TRS employer, must follow have also evolved. To better serve you and provide you with up-to-date information, staff from our Employer Services Department will be visiting school districts to conduct popular half-day meetings with you from December through May.

Who should participate in the employer meeting?

All individuals who are responsible for the TRS reporting functions and recordkeeping duties at your school should participate in the employer meeting.

If you are new to TRS reporting responsibilities, we strongly recommend that you schedule a meeting with our staff. We can customize your meeting to provide the basic knowledge you need to get started.

If you are experienced in TRS reporting, we can gear the meeting toward fine-tuning your reporting skills or resolving particular problems you have been experiencing.

What can I expect from an employer meeting?

During the meeting, we will review your current reporting practices, provide training, discuss recent changes, and answer questions about TRS reporting issues. We will specifically address
