Deduction reports must be imported BEFORE you update your payroll system for the new school year

Dear Payroll Official,

With the new school year right around the corner, we want to remind you to import your remaining 2024/2025 school year reports into MyTRS. It is important to get these reports exported out of your payroll system and imported into MyTRS BEFORE you start to make updates for the new school year.

  • It is important to import your monthly deduction reports on time so that the data contained within is up to date. Importing and processing your reports late can lead to incorrect annual salaries, fte% and position codes being included in the report. You would then be required to manually correct these values—possibly for multiple reports.
  • Save yourself time (and meet your statutory requirements) by importing your MTRS monthly deduction report in a timely fashion at the beginning of every month.
      • Reminder that reports have to go from Initial status to Pending status by the 10th of each month.
      • Payments must not be late (even if you’re behind in reporting, payments are due by the 10th of the following month).
  • Have a status of “Processed with Errors” on one of your 2024/2025 imported files? See Tab 6 Correct Errors During the Import Process (pg 69) of our Deduction Reporting in MyTRS guide for directions on how to correct these errors.

If you or your staff need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact your school district’s assigned Employer Reporting Analyst, or Shannon Murphy, Director of Employer Services, at shannon.murphy@trb.state.ma.us.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Osimo, Executive Director
