Employer Web Portal (EWP)

The pay reporting process is one you’ll use a lot. That’s why we gave it a big round button you can’t miss. Quick Vid: Pay Reporting

If you’ve started a pay report but haven’t submitted, you’ll find it at the top of the Pay Report page. After submitting the report, you’ll make a payment.

Review the Employer Manual: Pay Reporting section for more detail.

Click this big round button when new employees start. Right away you’ll see enrollments that are still with you (haven’t been submitted) and the ones with us (haven’t been processed). You’ll also see if we need more information to complete the process. Quick Vid: Enrollments

If your employer offers optional life insurance, you’ll see a big button labeled, “Optional Life.” Quick Vid: Optional Group Life Insurance

On the OGLI page, you’ll see a list of all employees who had changes since the last premium report. You can submit the report, pay premiums and even enter end dates in this 3-step process.

For your convenience, there is a calendar on your home page. Today’s date is highlighted, and we’ll show you when your pay dates are and dates KPERS is closed for a holiday.

Use the quick “Lookup Employee” on the home page to get to an employee’s record quickly. Do a wider search by clicking Look Up under Employee Info on the navigation bar.

Use it from inside the EWP to send files to KPERS. Quick Vid: Secure Upload

Upload & Search

To upload, you need to pick which type of file you’re sending, business or support.

Business files are needed to complete a process and include enrollment, KPERS after-retirement lookup file, etc. They’re usually Excel files.

Support files are usually PDFs or image files (e.g. JPG, PNG) and help other activities. It could be a birth certificate for a retirement application or a marriage certificate to verify a spouse.

You can also search for files you've already sent. Search by category, status and date.

Generally, you’ll use adjustments to change previously reported contribution amounts for a member. It happens – no worries. The portal will walk you through the process. Employer Manual: Adjustments

Things You Can Do

• See all adjustments you haven’t submitted yet. Click on ones you want to finish up.
• See adjustments we’re working on and haven’t processed.

Invoices are automatically generated after you’ve successfully submitted a pay report or OGLI premium report.

But you can also click on Invoices to check to see if you have any open or pending invoices. You can also see if you have any credits coming your way under the “credit” tab.
