PERS Report

The Oregon PERS (Public Employees Retirement System) Report is a recurring payroll and employee retirement reporting requirement submitted by Oregon public employers, including school districts, Education Service Districts (ESDs), and public charter schools, to the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (PERS).

The Oregon PERS Report is used to:

• Record employee retirement-eligible wages and contributions.

• Ensure accurate member account balances and service credit.

• Support the calculation of retirement benefits.

• Maintain compliance with Oregon retirement statutes and administrative rules.

For more information about PERS reporting, refer to the Employer Reporting Guides on the Oregon PERS website.
