SUMMARY: | End of Moratorium on Employer's Contributions for KPERS Death and Disability Insurance |
The moratorium on KPERS Death and Disability Insurance employer contributions will expire as of December 31, 2001.

Agencies are reminded that it is extremely important that the appropriate 'GTL' code be established in SHARP's General Deduction Data for new employees so that the proper contribution amount is calculated. (Go, Compensate Employees, Maintain Payroll Data U.S., Use, General Deduction Data) Attached is a schedule listing the percentage rates for employee/employer retirement plan contributions, updated with the Death and Disability Insurance Contribution rates and 'GTL' codes.

Regent's institutions are responsible for ensuring that this change is made in their respective systems prior to December 22, 2001.
