ETF is conducting online Wisconsin Retirement System employer training sessions, beneficial for employers new to WRS administration, as well as more experienced employers who have been working with the WRS for several years and would like a refresher on WRS topics.
Please note a few reminders for employers: check that you are using the most current form revision, watch for ETF Update meeting invites, and read about changes coming to the ICI Program in 2024.
The new manual provides information about the Sick Leave Conversion Program, including that unused sick leave can be utilized as a retirement benefit that allows eligible employees to convert unused sick leave into credits to pay post-termination health insurance premiums.
Employers may choose to offer more benefits to their employees including supplemental dental, vision, accident plan, and long-term care insurance. State employers may also offer pre-tax savings accounts.
