In order to ensure the accuracy of the type of employee reported, the Retirement Systems Division (RSD) is increasing the level of detail used in reporting a member’s job classification. RSD uses this information to increase the service level provided to the membership and to the employer.

In addition to increasing the level of service to the membership and employers, RSD is required to provide accurate member occupational information to the State’s Actuarial Firm in order to develop meaningful and accurate information concerning the Retirement Programs administered by RSD. Having more detailed classifications will also allow RSD to meet the reporting requirements for the General Assembly and other governmental entities.

In order to provide this information, each employer must determine the occupation/category of work for each employee reported to RSD. After the initial employment of an employee should the employee change the category of work performed, on a permanent basis, employer should include reporting the classification code for the employee detail.
