If you need to correct IMRF earnings and/or contributions for an individual member, use IMRF Employer Access ”Report Wage Adjustments” function.
Because online transactions are more accurate, more efficient, and faster than submitting wage adjustments to IMRF via paper forms, effective March 1, 2010, employers with Internet access must submit wage adjustments via Employer Access. (Exhibit 4E).
Go to the Employer Access area to report wage adjustments
Adjustments to previously reported earnings are allowed only in certain situations. Because IMRF is on a cash basis reporting method, changes to earnings actually paid and reported can be processed only for reasons allowed by law. Adjustments may be processed for the following reasons:
Typographical error on the payroll report (numbers transposed, digits omitted, etc.)
Compensation not reportable under the IMRF definition of earnings was reported.
Compensation reportable under the IMRF definition of earnings and actually paid to the member was not included on the payroll report.
Earnings were reportable to another retirement system.
Member awarded back pay which must be allocated to prior months/years. (See 3.96 U. Back Pay Other Than Illinois Labor Relations Acts for the rules regarding back pay.)
Adjustments are not allowed when compensation actually paid to an employee is returned voluntarily.
To submit a wage adjustment via Employer Access:
Login to Employer Access
Select Report Wage Adjustment from the Employer Access home page.
You will be guided through the wage adjustment process.
