Submit to KPERS by November 10, 2026. |

What are Service Quarters? |
|
Service quarter dates represent how you pay each of your employees and when those employees earn service credit.
It's True: An employer can have one or more pay cycles. |
|
Accuracy Is Crucial |
|
Accurate service credit and pay period reporting depend completely on your pay cycle data. To avoid service credit and reporting errors, ensure your pay period dates exactly match your payroll system. |
|
Important! |
|
You must verify & submit service quarter info, even if you have no changes. |
