The Retirement System is a control database interacting directly with the Payroll database to provide extensive, district definable editing capabilities prior to the Payroll Update process and to allow the Retirement Department to electronically control the STRS and PERS reporting cycles. To facilitate this process, the Retirement System is structured into three primary components: 1) County Retirement Controls 2) Payroll Production, and 3) Retirement Production.

The Retirement System provides the ability to:

• Create or modify a District Control Record.
  
• Indicate levels of error severity.
  
• Create and maintain an Edit Error Table.
  
• Create English Verbiage Records to describe the error codes.
  
• Create per district, combination code (consisting of retirement system, account code, pay code, and contribution code) which is directly linked to one or more specified Time Distribution and Payroll codes.
  
• Provide pre-payroll editing.
  
• Electronically update and/or inspect all existing retirement records for a selected employee.
  
• Generate comprehensive reports for each component within the Retirement System.
  
• Update and control multiple employee pay lines by cycle prior to the History roll process.
  
• View the retirement load process, Retirement Verification Records and/or History for a selected employee using the WINDOWS function.
  
• Adjust STRS and/or PERS records prior to submission to the state.
  
• Generate a STRS and/or PERS final report whereby an electronic tape is automatically created for submission to the state.
  
• Track classified hours to determine PERS eligibility.
  
• Track certificated hours to determine STRS eligibility.
  
• Report History of an employee by cycle year.
