Inform New Employees of Their Right to Join NYSLRS

For seasonal and part-time employees, membership is optional. You must inform new employees in writing of their right to join NYSLRS. If they choose to join, membership is not automatic—you must enroll the member.

Contact And Security Administrators

It’s important to regularly review and update contact types, contact information and security roles for individuals at your organization who work with NYSLRS. Doing so ensures they receive important correspondence, emails and notifications from NYSLRS and that they have proper access in Retirement Online.

When Employees Retire

After an employee retires and you make final payment for any accrued unused, unpaid sick leave, vacation, overtime, etc., you must submit final payment and service information to NYSLRS. Receiving accurate, timely information when your employees retire is critical to calculating their pension benefits.
