Employer Training
Employers play an important role in the retirement process. To make sure you have all the information you need, TRSL offers a number of employer training opportunities throughout the year. These resources include semi-annual employer procedures workshops, online training sessions through convenient web-conferencing, and on-site training at your request.
We encourage you to take advantage of these great opportunities to freshen up your retirement knowledge and get answers to your reporting questions.
|
Reduction-in-Force Webinars (for active members): TRSL has scheduled webinars for active TRSL members who face layoffs or reduction-in-force actions. Participants will learn what their options are concerning their TRSL retirement. Time is allotted for a question-and-answer period.

Retrieval, review, and completion of outstanding questionable year reports (to certify data for benefit computation and eligibility service credit)
-
Completion of sick leave data reporting (using online update programs and information on FTP submissions)
-
Completion of annual leave data reporting (for colleges, universities, technical colleges, and state agencies only)
-
Information gathering (retrieving or collecting back years and current year data)
-
Inputting and updating data using TRSL’s online tools and reports
To request on-site training and assistance, use the
ASK TRSL form. In your request, please include what type of assistance is needed.

Cash Balance Plan
Because of continued legislative action that would suspend implementation of the Cash Balance Plan, all employer training workshops have been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. TRSL will continue to monitor bills related to the Cash Balance Plan, and determine the need for future training sessions.
