To ensure your employees receive an accurate and timely pension benefit, you must submit final payment and service information to NYSLRS.
We need this information to:
- Reconcile your employees’ reported earnings.
- Ensure allowable payments are included in their Final Average Earnings (FAE) calculation.
- Determine whether your employees should receive additional service credit for unused, unpaid sick leave.
What You Need to Do
Immediately after submitting your monthly report with any final payments made to the employee, complete and submit the Statement of Accrued Payments and Leave Credits (RS6221) form, which we will:
- Enclose with the letter.
- Provide a link to in the Retirement Online notification.
Note: For information about who at your organization receives these, see the Notification of Employee’s Retirement page.
New Page Coming Soon to Retirement Online: Accrued Payments and Leave Credits
In January, NYSLRS will release a new Accrued Payments and Leave Credits page in Retirement Online. The new page will provide an online form allowing you to quickly and easily submit your employees’ information electronically. After the new page is released, NYSLRS will no longer accept the paper form. For more information, including what you need to do to prepare, read about the Accrued Payments and Leave Credits Page Coming Soon.
