This document will walk you through creating the Employer Retirement Share Report, submitting it to USAS and completing the process in USAS with a purchase order and disbursement. 

Some districts have the STRS and SERS payments withheld from their foundation two times a month. The district still needs to account for this expenditure in USAS and may use the Employer Retirement Share Report/Submission to prorate the amounts charged during payroll to the corresponding benefit accounts. 
  • Verify the amounts that were withheld from the foundation payment.

In USPSR

  • Go to Reports/Employer Retirement Share
    • Enter the Begin Date: First of the month
    • Enter the End Date: Last day of the month
    • STRS Amount to Distribute: monthly amount from foundation payment
    • SERS Amount to Distribute: monthly amount from foundation payment
    • Generate the Report
  • Check for errors 

    • If needed create accounts in USAS

    You may run the report as many times as needed until you are satisfied with the way it looks.
