Local Government Employers
Recently many employers have asked whether or not they are a local government employer. Employer Announcement #39 specifies that local government employers are required to report earned-when-earned salary for Chapter 238 Tier Two and OPSRP Pension members by utilizing the wage period begin and end date fields. These fields will be added to the DTL2 with release 4.1 of EDX, scheduled for April 30, 2006.
ORS 174.116 defines “local government.” PERS uses a four-digit employer number to identify actuarial groups of employers. If your employer number ranges from 2000 to 2899 (with the exception of employer number 2090) PERS currently lists you as a local government employer.
Please note, this information is provided as a guide for employers. It is the employer’s responsibility to determine if it meets the statutory definition of “local government.” If an employer is unsure of its status we will be happy to provide that information.
If you have questions please contact the Employer Service Center at 888-320-7377 or e-mail Employer Education and Training at: PERS-Employer.info.services@state.or.us
